Well, I found the Harry Potter Series in Reston, VA today. It was
kinda funny that while looking for "the rescuer" stamp and
reading: "Afterwards he was hurt and
stumbled up the hill from the rock tree" that I STEPPED INTO A
YELLOWJACKET'S NEST. My boyfriend was off a little ways looking for
a geocache with another geocacher that we'd met in the woods. I
didn't run uphill, but I ran to the creek below. I was
screaming "Jason, Jason". I was just about to rip my clothes off and
jump into the creek when he came over the hill with the new friend
cacher. It took several minutes for my rescuer to help to pick them
out of my pants. I got stung about 25 times. I haven't counted all of
them yet. I did eventually find the box after much looking.
I was so happy to have found it that I closed my PDA and dind't pay
attention to the clue sheet on how to get out of the park. SO I went
back the way I came, or, er tried AND I got lost. We ended up
walking out of the park through someones back yard(me boyfriend, and
cacher we'd never met before who was interested in letterboxing and
hung around, I guess he didn't know better not to follow us).
Fortunately, I did have 2 geocachers with me, and they both had GPS,
so we just had to 1.) get satellite reception and 2) get back to the
car. We were over a mile from the car(which we'd marked for reasons
like this).
We did eventually make it back to the car(and it required getting
back into the woods, again tromping through someones backyard), but
it was a prediciment to be in, since I am ALLERGIC to stings, and had
just been mauled by a nest of them. It turns out that I didn't do
more than swell, and do some asthma like coughing, but I survived.
I'd like for just once to go out and not get hurt. I've been lost
TWICE, once after dark. I've been covered in ticks. I've twisted my
ankle, and pulled muscles. I've been sunburnt and rained on. Why
can't it go my way? But, my only regret is that I only found 4
letterboxes today.
I did stop by and check on my 1st box on the way home. The first
visitors stamped in yesterday.... it was almost exciting as finding
my first cache.

Being stung 25 times when deathly allergic to stings sounds like a
Purple Heart to me. Where is the Purple Heart travelling stamp now?
Never wanting such,

Manda,
If you are allergic to stings I hope you carry an epipen injector in your pack. I do.

ACK! Lyme disease. I did reserach on tick diseases after I was
infested with them. The kind that got me didn't cause lyme disease,
but Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. That ones no fun either. I'd hate

The real bad one is Ehrlichiosis. It has similar symptoms as 15
other diseases and you have to request a special test for diagnosis.
While most of the tick borne diseases make you dang sick,
Ehrlichiosis is a killer since it normally goes on without proper
diagnosis. It has shown up in this country since Viet Nam and we
have it here in the Kern Valley,Ca. It supposidly leaves a ring
around the tick bite as Lyme disease does, but sometimes we don't
check over our dogs as well as we should and this may not be seen.It
generally mimics anti immune type diseases and the dog will slowly
whither and last about a year.(Boy this was sure hard to write!)

My husband first got Lyme about 7 years ago, it was so bad he almost couldn't walk. He had to goto physical therapy. Since then it has reaccured once and he's gotten bitten and "caught" Lyme again. He thinks it's reaccuring again.
The tick that got me was when I was looking for a place to plant a LB. I found the tick the next day, embedded. The next week I had the rash. I get to take horse pills for 3 weeks now!! NO FUN!!!
