Where’s Your Loyalty?
Just a quick post this one.
Out on a longer lunchtime walk I headed to the area where this cache was hidden. I looked all over for about 15 minutes when a woman arrived and sat down on a park bench right nearby. Well, this little alcove is not big enough for me to be pretending to do anything non-strangely so I walked away a bit and kept an eye on her in case she left. I hid for a while under an overhang as the rain was on and off the whole time, but people kept coming to sit on the benches for lunch. While looking at my GPS for something to do, I heard a guy next to me ask “Are you looking for something?”. Hmm. He turned out to be toadmeister7 out looking for the same cache. I had noticed him walking up and down the stairs for a few minutes, but he could have been there for exercises. I said “Yeah. My group name is Two Goth Geeks, what’s yours?”. He said “toadmeister7″ and that he had just started Geocaching that month with his son. Since nobody was leaving soonish he headed off again. I stayed around for another 45 minutes, but had to get back to the office. I logged onto the website to report the cache as missing. Others had looked recently and had not found it either, so we assume it had been muggled. Unfortunately, it had a bunch of Travel Bugs in it which are now forever lost. Oh well. Later that afternoon I received an email from the cache owner who said to have a really good look as people misplace the cache in the wrong location nearby often. I went back that afternoon after work and looked for another 45 minutes, but no luck. I emailed the owner back and he said it must have definitely been lost then. A while later I see he has replaced the cache so I will have to take another look some time.
