After yesterday's Epic Fail, as I regretfully like to call it, we went in search of two more today. One is at the end of a beautiful drive up Pillar Mountain, which is also the name of the cache. It's a beautiful day in Kodiak and a nice day for a drive if nothing else.
I had read the hints and other people's responses before we left and I knew it could be tricky to find. The coordinates were in a tree and it seemed to be the perfect hiding spot. I bet we spent over a half an hour looking through that tree and found nothing. We looked on the ground, under rocks, in the branches, in the surrounding bushes, under rocks near the surrounding bushes, and not a thing. It was just recently found, too. 0 for 1 today and 0 for 5 in the past two days. Are we as geocachers just bad at the game??? It's very disheartening.
Tails tucked, we went in search of another one. "Lifesavers." Dedicated to animals and heroes. So we thought it may be next to Lily Lake behind the animal shelter.
SPOILER AHEAD:
We were close, but it is actually in the flower beds next to the vet clinic.
END SPOILER:
When we saw where the GPS pointed for us to go, we didn't even want to try and look for it. So 0 for 2 today, however we may have found it if we actually searched. Again, we just don't feel comfortable searching or "snooping" around a business. Too many people around, right on one of the only main roads here in Kodiak, REALLY??? Out of all the Rural and Suburban locations on the island that are prime areas for caches, they have to be placed in the MOST urban of areas?
So again, we go home not having found anything. Geo Morale low.
Until next time...
