Robbed!!!!

This past weekend I had purchased the full geocaching application and a push Gmail app. THE_GEOKNIGHTS, showed me how to set up notifications for when caches are just published. I got my first notification yesterday that "Muchachos y Muchachas" (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=e74f4aef-321f-4b5f-aaa7-e8eea33c7e60&log=y&decrypt=) was published. The cache was eight kilometres away (according to geocaching.com) on Willis point road. Being that Willis point was our road of choice for drag racing in high school, I was extremely familiar with the area. I paced for about five minutes wondering if I should ask my boss to leave early for lunch to log this cache hopefully as FTF. I got the OK from the boss and dashed to my truck to head to the cache site. With traffic it took me about twenty five minute minutes to get there.

During the drive I changed my goal from FTF to just beating THE_GEOKNIGHTS to the cache. I rounded the last bend to the pull off, and guess what I saw.... THE_GEOKNIGHTS getting into his truck.

"You have got to be shitting me...." I got schooled by the master...

I got some razzing from him for trying to beat him. I asked how long he had been here, he responded with maybe three minutes. If only i had not hesitated on whether or not i should go, I would have beaten him. He gave me some help finding the cache, even though their footprints through the long grass gave me a general direction. All in all it was a nice cache, very well tucked away but visible. The co-ordinates were a bit off but the clues help in locating it.

Today I vowed to him that I would indeed beat him to a cache for the FTF. He obviously laughed and informed me it would not happen.

So for the record........ ITS ON!!
