Another cacher we all know and love had a far different interesting experience at this cache. But I promised not to tell. Laughing

and i thought my hunt for this elusive cache was tough back in december, in near-blizzard conditions. suddenly i feel much better.

so who's story is it that you can't tell, even by masking their identity?

i had a somewhat similar experience to that of drat. i never encountered anyone doing anything creepy, but it dawned upon me that it was peculiar to find several lone males parked in the overflow area of a rest area. when i glanced into a car i was walking by and noticed that the man sitting inside, (staring straight ahead, thankfully,) had a deliberately open fly, i was quite grateful to be on my way out.

this cache location turned out to be an infamous rest area profiled on the channel 9 news last fall. and in response to that report, evidently, trees have been removed and new fencing is being added, i've read.

Never had a bad day caching. Or even a bad cache.

Couple of times came close to having a couple of fangs embedded in my skin from rattlers out in California. But since I'm invading their homes, I don't hold it against them for protecting it. I know I do protect my home. Laughing

I don't think if I've had a 'worst' experience, yet, but my most memorable was here:

If anyone has ever encountered a pack of wild dogs, they will know what I felt.

Closest I've gotten to a worst was arriving at the following cache wearing the wrong clothes and therefore unable to partake of the beverages...

nonlinear-kelsey says this was the worst she's had so far...

I don't know about the worst, but the latest one to piss me off. We were in Quad Cities last weekend, and I had 5 caches that I wanted to visit. Because of limited time, it became apparent that I'd only get to one. I know the woman who started this traveling cache, and it had been in Illinois since January, so I decided this would be the one. The latest hider posted corrected coordinates (which have since been edited) so I spent an hour and a half on this one. The park gate was locked. The cache was up a steep hill, similar to the one at Cherokee Park. After I get up the hill, I run into private property with .35 mile to go.

Got back to the car, and decided to try again, arriving at the spot I had walked ! I got within .18 mile which pointed to a ravine between two residences. I didn't think it was park property, so I gave up.

After leaving Quad Cities, different corrected coordinates are posted !
