The Pathfinder: “Crawling Through Bushes”
Crawling Through Bushes
Considering I was going to be visiting the Convocation Center at James Madison University, I decided to seek out “Zip It: 22807″ to see if I could locate it.
Going into this one, there were two bits that worried me a bit.
The first was finding a parking spot while the second was that one person found retrieving the cache in the past a bit of a “tight fit.”
I found a parking spot right off, although it was a risky place to park as it might well have drawn the ever possible parking ticket to my windshield, but in the end I found luck was with me as I managed to escape this.
The problem I faced, however, was exactly where this geocache might be hidden as there was a little bit of a signal bounce with the GPS for some reason.
In the end, I narrowed down the location, although freely admit that I took about five minutes longer than needed as I did not trust where common sense told me it would be.
After a bit of crawling around in the narrow “tunnels” of shrubbery, I found the cache tucked away among the branches of a bush.
To be honest, it reminded me a bit of shrubs I would tunnel into and play within as a child back in eastern North Carolina many years ago.
Logging my find, I moved rather quickly back to the car to make sure I escaped being ticketed.
