Well im fifteen so im old enough to mind my own but not old enough to drive I learned about geocaching at a camp which i've been going to since i was six every single summer. Well since i was pretty handy doing it with a partner and on my own and i even tried it at a different camp.So i said okay well ill just do some city ones near my house. Well i live on the outskirts of town and its pretty rural here with a fair amount of traffic and its pretty safe but i decide ill take my dog with me. So its just me and my fraidy cat dog.Well i went around to the backside of the park which is a big field about the size of two soccer fields and my GPS is telling me that the cache is along the fence. Well my back is turned to a pavilion and the sandbox. Im hunting along the weedy fence line when my fraidy cat dog backs up against my leg and starts growling to my surprise a little girl comes up on her bike admiring my dog. I chalked it up to a bored seven year old with a short attention span following a nice looking dog. Since the cache appeared to muggled or DNF'ed i went my way and started walking toward my ride's house. Along through the park the pavilion has seemed to be filled with some "Shady" looking characters. Complete with sideways hats and wayy too baggy pants they were yelling hey little mama! and BABY GIRL at me so i just went to the front of the park where some parents and some small children were playing they continued to yell at me until my ride came but i felt okay as long as the dads (even though they were strangers its a one stop light town) were there keeping an eye on their kids. Not as scary as some of these tales but pretty freaky for my first trek by myself.

Haha that is a great shirt but i have a garmin etrex too! only mine is new so it has a color screen .. but i learned on an old garmin etrex ^.^

Whats wrong with little green army men and bouncy balls. what you define as "Good swag." may not be to others and what if the next person to go to that cache collects dirty bouncy balls and little green army men you would have spoiled their trading. well at least your spelling was correct and you didnt put a dead lady next to the cache for some one to find. this was probably intended as a kids cache and you should have left it fifty fifty with the "trash" and good swag.

Same here about the dead dear, at 2 caches ! Sick, not Weird would be a bucket of dead worms that stenched up the travelers. _ This was in Eastern part of our state where it was summer And hot! The deer being hidden like that are probably people with out a hunting license or people that shot an illegal deer (underweight, wrong sex, too small antlers, out of season etc.)

Sorry but that is really funny. I think I would have done the same thing, if of course i had the courage to even open the bag. thanks for the laugh haha i remember those from middleschool.

Found one yesterday that was a bolt stuck in a stop sign. I liked that one. So how did you figure out it was the bolt? Was it a "seasame street moment" like above?
