Bill, that's funny that you mention being off by 50 feet...just this morning Tim and I were laughing about the day out that I mentioned, and that had the cache been 50 feet away it would have been no big deal (especially for a seasoned cacher like him ). But the worst one was 500 feet off. That's five zero zero feet (actually it was 522, but who keeps track past 500? ).
Btw- nothing negative aimed at whomever's cache that was; we've all had quirky things happen with that cursed piece of technology we carry. It was just a funny moment: me hobbling around like Igor (pronounced "eye-gore"), both of us dripping with sweat and Tim showing mercy on me by giving himself a 30 yard head start towards the cache!
