Dersu

I just tried to find my first cache and went in from the worst direction. I started on public property, but maybe ended up going through private woods for about a 1/2 mile! As it turned out the cache was easy to get to 180 degrees from my direction, as it was rated a 1 star. Why don't we have a best compass direction to start the search for the cache? By the way, my sorry batteries ran out at 20 feet from the motherload! Now gotta go back, or maybe I should say, I get to go back. It was fun.
