Hi all, back in from The Trail Of The Gods and had quite the caching adventure. Met some Power Cachers, some regular folks just out having a great time. Saw a couple of families out having an absolute blast in a Geo-Jeep optimized for high speed caching.
Monster tires, suspension system to die for with extended height and travel capabilities and NO doors in order to facilitate accelerated ingress and egress from the vehicle.
Then I saw WAAAAAAAYYYY too many containers which are already a maintenance nightmare ( eclipse gum containers ) TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE many logs already trashed because the inward rolled lip makes it difficult to remove the log sheet. Having a pair of needle nosed pliers helped, however, soooooo many logs were so badly damaged that the containers contained " chaff "
I have learned to appreciate some stamps and some stickers, however, not all are created equally, stickers with marginal adhesives are problematic. Further, it seems that some power cachers live in an alternate world with respect to logging. Some power cachers slapped their stickers onto the containers and moved on others just got a corner of the log sheet out and called it good enough. Helter / Skelter would be an appropriate description.
Glad I went, had some very long tiring days. Only managed slightly above 300 caches for the experience. Did not get them all nor was it our intent. Sampled each trail, worked both ends of the main trail, completed the White House / Presidents Trail. Yeeeeessssss, I might like to go and finish the entire series.
Yesss Enbay got two for you ... one at the front end of the main trail and one at the back end. Did not log you in but mentioned your name to Ku and Yuki Onna.
