So I went on another little hunt. My daughter and I went looking for a cache that was located in a local sportsplex. I hadn't decoded a morse code hint and so we looked around stairwells and plants and under stairs. There were lots of muggles around so we didn't get too far.
What's a muggle you ask? Apparently it has something to do with Harry Potter. In geocaching it has something to do with someone upsetting / stealing / wrecking a cache. I will have to research it some more just so I know what I'm talking about. Both references actually.
Oh yea, back to the cache.
So Son and Daughter had soccer registration at the same sportsplex the other night so I thought I would give it another go. This time I decoded the morse code. Well, that answers a lot. It was a number. It was a number to what I assumed was a book in the library that was in the sportsplex. AHA! So off I went. Well, after I spent half an hour standing in lines to get the kids registered for soccer.
I found the number and the book in the Reference section. Isn't that nifty there is a book in the library about the Atlantic Geocachers. Oh wait. I'm a numbnut. It's a book with a printout on the spine. Anyway, the book was cut out to hold the cache. Pretty clever if you ask me. I found it. Wheee!
In other news, I'm working on a history of geocaching and a what is geocaching post. I am more than likely going to get a garmin legend anyway, even though I took it back. The Magellan batter just doesn't last long enough to do anything with, and it's just too delicate to walk through the mud and the much with.
