The Last Day and the Last Cache of the Year
31 December 2006
Queen City cache by Fumanti Family
Hi, FF!
After a slow start on this last morning of 2006, Rich and I decided around noon to get outside and enjoy the sunshine for a few hours. I wasn’t able to join him on the hunt the first day your cache was available (another sunny, warm day, and I was stuck at work all the daylight hours!), but he promised that we’d come back. Today was the day. We took a different route than the one you recommended; we know the area well and had something a little different in mind. Our walk was muddy and wet in spots, though we were lucky not to be trudging through snow like we would be most years in December. I found the cache without incident and without assistance, and all was well inside. I signed the logbook and took the Capt. Rich T-B (with a name like that, how could I resist it!) but didn’t make any trades. The “Ultimate Party Mix” tape was hard to pass up, however (I admit I do like most of those songs — which is one good reason why I don’t host parties).
After returning the cache to its hiding spot, we wandered the trails some more and found a good spot for some target practice. The clouds soon moved in and the temperature dropped quickly, but the conditions were still pleasant for our walk out of the woods. As Rich always says, any day like this is one less day of Winter, so I’ll take it! Thanks for a fun little diversion on the last day of a really terrific year. Happy 2007!!!
