One out of Fifty!

[+lee737]

My son and I had been planning a little road trip for some time. We'd drive (cache) out to a country town (Mudgee), stay the night, then hit one of the country road trails first thing, aiming to do 50 caches in the day..... it was all meticulously planned, driving directions, bail out points on the backroads in case of whatever contingencies, watchlists, a written list ready for box ticking and note taking, food packed into separate day containers.... yes, I am a bit obsessive. Yesterday went well, until he vomited (in my bed!) at 0300 this morning, then we woke to pouring rain. After medicating him to a reasonable state, we decided on a plan B, so did one of the fifty we had planned, and a virtual and earthcache in the next town (60 miles away). Hopefully the rain (and vomit) stops for the trip home tomorrow! Sorry, just need to vent to people who would understand the angst!

A plan is the thing what get's instantly crushed when reality kicks it.

 

Get well soon!

Sorry to hear it.

Hope your son is well soon, and doesn't come to associate nausea with geocaching with Dad =;-I

It sounds to me like Plan B worked perfectly.

 

But Plan A would have been more fun.

Bummer. But you made the best of a bad situation - and the next trip is guaranteed to be better. GL

Good news is that he has woken up good as gold (or so it seems!) - so we ar packing the car and set to cache our way home, hoping the rain holds off.... Thanks everyone.....

From the title I thought you were going to say you only found one of 50 caches you looked for. Sounds like it was even worse that than. Glad things worked out.

It all worked out well really..... 14 on day 1, 3 (instead of 50 odd) on day 2, 14 on day 3.... 880km (550mi) total, some good finds among them, including a pretty cool 6 stage multi (not bad on a roadtrip!).....
