Found three, made four

After starting today’s short caching run with a lovely DNF, we got ourselves on the tiniest of rolls with two consecutive finds. First off was Marvels of STEEL, a 2.5/1.5 by JoGPS. We encountered no troubles in finding this standard little magnetic cache and were able to sign the log quickly and move on. The next cache on our list took a little longer to locate, however. Behind the Old Trees is a 3/3 by CelticsDude111 that is in one of those places where you really need a good GPS lock and just can’t seem to find one. Eventually, we resorted to scouring the area and just setting down the 60CSx. This proved to be a good tactic and we were able to grab the smiley along with a trackable (Zodiac Gemini Female Geocoin). Running short on our already limited time, we hopped back in the Mini and drove to our next DNF, Caution. Low clearance. After failing there, we were able to snag one more find at Quick Cache, another cache by CelticsDude111 (this time rated 1.5/1.5) and bring our grand total for the day to a magnificent three.

The real geocaching fun came later, though this time it was in the shop rather than the field. In fact, you could say that the fun is yet to be had, since the caches manufactured there this evening have yet to be deployed. Rest assured, though, that these will be quality hides employing a technique that the Stoogeteers have yet to see in this area. If all goes according to plan, at least one should be placed tomorrow and hopefully activated some time next week. Only time will tell. Stay tuned for the late breaking news on our future caches.
