I got out for a little while yesterday afternoon - I just had to get out of the house and Claire e-mailed me so off we went!
Our main goal was to search for one of Leona's caches, GC2TN40 - Hiding from the Owl, which she and Barry had DNFed on as had Chris and I. Well, we arrived to search and soon found that we were out numbered. By blackflies. They were around me in clouds, more than I have ever seen in one place. Couldn't even breathe without inhaling flies. Neither of us apparently being very smart, we both forgot fly dope. I swear the flies were about to carry me off, so I told Claire to keep feeding them as long as she wanted to, I would be in the truck. It wasn't long before she joined me and we left the area. Still no smilie.
I did grab a couple of other caches on the way to and from Leona's, so it wasn't a complete loss.
While we were out my phone alarmed with a new cache notification. When I got home I found GC2WQED - Summer Summer Summer, was in Canning. After dinner it still hadn't been found so I decided to head out. I snagged FTF at 1834! I was surprised that somebody else hadn't been out in the 5 hours or so since the reviewer published the cache. It is kind of neat because the cache is on the CO's property and he comments in the description that somebody will probably be watching from inside the house. Sure enough, I saw at least two "observers" and gave them a wave. I took my time signing up the log and replacing the cache in the hope that somebody would come out for a chat but no such luck.
