Now after turning down the road that lead to the cache, I was greeted by a couple of rather annoying dogs, as they were chasing my front tires, and well I sure didn't want these barking critters near me when I went for the find, so drove a little to the right and sure enough the darker dog wasn't watching for bushes, then started to the left and sure enough the white/brown dog was very intent upon eating my front tire that when he ran into the bush knocked him for a flip... proceeded to the cache with no further company... spotted a dead bird of prey a hawk I think...traded for the blue fish and drove for the next cache, the dogs got a late start chasing me so it was a short effort...

Parked in the trailhead parking lot right next to a couple of older gentlemen in a out of state car, I re-read the cache page and noticed that the cache was only 505 feet away, grabbed my bag and got out of the car. The Gentleman closest to me asked 'Are you a Geocacher?' I hesitated, then thought of several responses, then replied "only when I am not fishing", he responded I thought so as you were reading from a notebook. When I told him there was a cache only 500 feet away he and his friend who hadn't heard about Geocaching decided they could make the short hike, I felt pretty great caching with another cacher from out of state and caching with someone on their first cache hunt..

We made the walk to the cache and signed the log, I Traded a happy meal toy for uh uh uh something then as we headed back, the group of hikers they were waiting for walked the rest of the way with us..
