FuzzyBears

We were on holiday doing some great caches but I decided to do one final one after my husband had done enough (bad back).I set a waypoint for where he dropped me off and I headed down a footpath and into the woods. I walked for quite a way zig-zagging down the various tracks but then my route was blocked and my GPS signal vanished. After backtracking a bit I headed in the what I thought was the right general direction hoping to regain signal but then only got confused readings due to the trees. I had only worn t-shirt and shorts as it was a fine day but by now my legs and arms were getting scratched as I fought my way through brambles. However as the GPS started to give more and more wierd readings I began to panic as I had lost my sense of direction which is normally good. So finding a clearing I switched back to my start waypoint but there was no path in that direction. Panic mounting I made my own route straight back through brambles and nettles. My husband picked me up bloodied and bruised fifteen minutes later. I had a mobile phone and a "ham" radio hand-held but neither were much use in that predicament other than having someone to talk to and give me hope that I would get out....It is the last time I believe a cache description that says just off the path and the LAST time I go caching under trees alone. On getting home we downloaded my track and found I had managed to walk round three sides of a square and in various circles none of which came within a stones throw of the cache. Will do this cache but next time from the opposite end of the path and with company. Sue

Please add 150+ fuzzybears (and Sue & Dave)

Take a look at Guys Gaff GCGGFU High spirits GCGXFQ Timothy Potter GCGXFR and Final raid GCGXG1 three multi caches which all give a clue to the final raid ..... 4 seperate logs

OK just to add a slight twist, what do we do if the contraband is a travel bug? We have just visited a cache and in it was a TB which was a lighter (still working)...We ran it till it wouldn't light..... Do we remove it, Email it's owner, email the cache owner or ??????? Sue and Dave

Congratuations Tiddles Is this 100 caches placed or found? Keep up the good work. CallieB with Sue and Dave

We use the Foretrex 201 and have no problems using it for caching... the only problem is you can't pretent it's a mobile while 'avoiding' muggles.. but if you look back along the track you can pretend you are timeing someone and are waiting for them to arrive... Dave
