I went out today to get an H1N1 flu shot (Wallgreens) and do a bit of geocaching. It's interesting to note that Lahey still doesn't have vacine! That speaks rather poorly to them as a PCP.
I started by trying to find Callahan North Supply Station. There is good parking just a 100 yds or so from the trail. The coordinates are just off one of the Callahan trails. I looked at the GPS position without success. I also checked around where the clue indicated (about 80' away) also with no success. It was a bit overcast so perhaps the GPS was off. I loged it as a DNF.
From there I tried Callahan South Supply Station. Ditto. Parking was good and this should be an easy find but after checking where the clue indicated and where the GPS indicated it was a DNF.
Finally I tried Dogs Gone Wild. Again parking was good and the cache nearby but despite the clue and tracks from another cacher I had no luck. Interestingly my GPS indicated a different location than the other cacher based on their tracks.
Zero for three for the day I drove home as my feet were beginning to get chilled. Along the way I checked out parking for Return to Tradition #8: Henry's Hill Hybrid and X marks the spot. There simply isn't any winter parking.
After I got home I defined a pocket query that will search for caches within 10 miles found in the last week. This should make it a bit easier to succeed in winter caching since there is some reason to believe that the cache exist and is findable in the snow.
Spent the afternoon reading.
