Yeah the last cache Mary and I looked for in the mcdowwel preserve we we able to pull my gas guzzling 1971 blazer, with creasote chewwing tires within 3 feet of the cache. We didnt find it right off cause it was uder a BUSH! So we busted out our flamethrower we always carry offtrail with us, did I mention we were wearing cleats, and proceeded to "clear the brush". Funny thing is we had the datum wrong and had to do it all over again just around the corner. then we dumped all the trash from my yard right on the trail, and they say we don't stay on the trail...sheesh.
