It is amazing how driven we geocachers are. Like a postman, neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays us from our caches.
Personally I have cached in the rain, snow of a blizzard, a recently burned out area, up a tree, in a river and various tall structures. I know many a cacher who will brave even worse weather than I will go out in. Recently, up by Lake Ontario, up a tree, in the pouring rain I came across a series of number expressions which I could not make head nor tails of. There was first:
(1028621-1423605)
followed by
(1716645+1116856)
and finally
(961801*2341994+1412581)
Not sure what they mean but I think they are cache related.
Then on an outing toward Buffalo after traveling through a blackened woods to an underground cave I again came across three sets of numbers.
First:
(2549642+1286507)
followed by
(410897+1779741)
and finally
(1595301*84981+246252)
I think there are coordinates in there somewhere, what do you think?
In the mean time, I may see you out on the trails when no sane person should be out, looking for that elusive cache. Happy caching.
Notes about this cache: I thought it would be nice to do a cache on the west side this time. Bring your own pen. Watch out for muggles.
