A cache dedicated to my geocaching (tor)mentor. The guy whose enthusiasm for this hobby sparked my interest in this wonderful hobby. For all his help (especially with the last MW series) thanks Jaypeg! What kind of cache to hide in Jaypeg's honour? A 47 stage multi with the final being a nano container hidden miles in the bush? I thought awhile about what to do and was hit by some inspiration. Enjoy, handle with care.

Decided to tackle a second cache today. The first was 'Morier Park Cache' near where I live. Since I had to go to work in an hour or so, I didn't want to stray too far from my path to work. Unfortunately... I've already found most everything in this area of the city.

However... doth my eyes deceive me? My GPS tells me that there's a new cache just off McGillivray Blvd. that I have not yet found. Heading down McGillivray, I begin to ponder just where the the world I can park. Turning at the set of lights that for some reason seem to hate me every time I drive down here (maybe turning will appease the red-light gods for a while), I discover that the nearest parking lot appears to be... a church.

Pondering it for a moment, I conclude that it's unlikely that a church is going to tow my car. After all... it'd be virtually impossible for them to tell that I don't belong to the church, unless they either log everyone's license plates (which would just be kinda weird and creepy), or they see me park and then walk AWAY from the church. The latter being the most likely, I figure I shouldn't be long, and take a chance.

In case you can't tell... I'm a tad paranoid .

In either case, I head away from the parking lot (yet still looking back at the car every minute or so, just to see if someone is writing down my license plate to tow it or ticket it or something) towards the coordinates. I quickly discover that there is one initial hinderance in my plan. I'm not sure why it exists, but what should normally be a tiny ditch has at this time of year turned into a stream, which goes directly between myself and the cache. I needed to head towards the road a bit in order to find a spot I would be able to hop over, and continue on my way.

At which point, I hit my second hurdle... the lake which currently surrounds the cache area entirely. With my work shoes on, I took my time carefully stepping onto the slightly higher bumps on the ground, keeping my feet dry.

Except of course when my foot went through the surface of a snowdrift, shoveling snow into my shoe... but I was able to take my shoe off and bang it out before it started to melt.

But, after fording the lake, I find myself at the coordinates. Looking around, the sun gets in my eyes from where I'm standing (and I totally don't say that because I will be shortly blaming the sun for me not spotting the cache immediately ). Circling the area, I poke and prod and look into every orifice, nook, and cranny I can find. Alas, I find nothing. A bit worried that I'm not going to find it before work, I circle back to the first side of the tree again. Checking out my palm pilot, the description or hint doesn't help me in the slightest, nor does the last log.

Resting for a moment (which seems to be when I usually find the cache... I should start to do that right when I get to the coordinates ), my eyes spot what should have been spotted, if the damn sun hadn't been in my eyes. The plain-as-day-the-second-you-see-it cache! This definitely falls into the "hard to see until you see it, and then you kick yourself for not seeing it sooner" type of cache. Good stuff !

I was so amused with the cache, I decided to give it a limited edition rubberized mini chainmail ball. It's small and squishy, so it can fit anywhere .

Having previously found my way through the river and stream, I easily made my way back to the car and went to work triumphant .

Thanks again for the nice adventure. Definitely cheered me up before a long day of work .

Took: Nothing
Left: Logbook entry and limited edition rubberized mini chainmail ball (only one ever made at this time!)
