Well, I got out caching again today for a short time all by my lonesome. I was 3 for 3 when I headed home, and those were the only caches on my list today. I picked up both Treasure in the Trees Eh? 2 and 3 as well as Hugh's new one that Chris got the FTF on yesterday.
I was a little nervous when I got to Hugh's - it was in the pile of rocks that forms part of the dike, and you know me and piles of rocks. I almost walked away, but then I spent a couple of minutes studying the site. I decided that if I sat down on one large flat rock and swung my legs around its edge my feet would then be on another large rock below. So that is exactly what I did. Both rocks were large enough to be safe and steady. I grabbed the cache which was under the rock I sat on (right where I expected it to be), signed up the log, sat back down and swung my legs back up to the top. Too easy and perfectly safe!

hey ken -- that is exactly how I did it also -- only I checked one other place first and I did it sitting down --- did not want to fall when I was by myself -- on a similar note in Halifax yesterday one cache I was going to do took me to the wooded area in fairview and decided that with all the trouble in Halifax lately and since I know this is a tough area maybe better to skip this one as you are alone so I did .... better safe than sorry ... enjoy the day off with my wife ...
