The hubby (DH) decided to give it a go again this past Friday.
This would be his second outing. I planned on nabbing 3 boxes
starting with Squirrels' Mystery Box. Off we went. We hunted close to
2 hours for that box. DH was bound and determined to find it. I told
him my theory of where it was(naturally it was different from his)
and we should leave to find the next two. While driving to the next
location he kept going over Squirrels clues convincing only himself
that he had been close. I still believe in my theory!
Nabbed the second box and off to #3. This is where we stumble
across our first Benchmark. For those out there it is a survey
marker. AND yes, I know this subject belongs in the Geocaching site,
but it is pertinent to my story! DH is so excited to give me a lesson
on benchmarks. I write down all the info. on the disk so I can log it
in. Later I find out I should have taken a picture. I don't have a
GPS to get the co-ordinates, but I can bet that Mr. Technology will
get a GPS soon!
After finding box #3 we drove home. DH was all a twitter.
Talking about what his handle would be and how he wanted to carve his
own stamp! When I told him some people use a dremmel, well that just
fueled his fire. POWER TOOLS!!!!!!
Back home. I go to try to log in the benchmark and can hear the
drill in the distance! Proudly he shows me his stamp. "Pretty darn
good for the first time" I tell him. "It's all in the tools" is his
reply.
So I present to the community, Silver Fox, a new convert. I doubt
he will go with me all the time. Given a choice between swinging his
clubs and hunting for boxes, I'm sure he'd choose being with
his "peeps" on the links!
The End

p.s. I recommend using the dremmel outside. My kitchen has little
rubber bits everywhere! Now, if only he could get excited on the
clean up.
