Was kinda tossing up heading out to this one after claiming Kisha's Cache nearby. It was about 800m away, and it was still cold and windy out. However, the sun was out to warm things up a little bit, and I didn't know if the nearing onset of winter would make this cache unfindable, so I dove after it. Well... as much as you can dive 800 meters worth .
So after a walk down a trail and through a bit of a mown down field, it was off to travel through some underbrush. Shortly after choosing a path, I ended up having to cross a small patch of burrs. Not the nice live ones that actually have a chance of staying attached to the branches... no, no, the DEAD ones, that come off the branch instantly and seem to cling like... a million times better than the live ones. So that wasn't too bad. It was when I got to the second, 5-times-as-large patch of burrs that they started to annoy me. I swear, I must attract burrs like a magnet attracts metal. When I hit the third entirely seperate patch of burrs, I just began to question my pathfinding abilities. Or failing that, once again curse at how mother nature seems to just know what I'm going to do sometime, and try to screw me over somehow . By the fourth patch, I had abandoned that thought and just gave up any hope of me ever having an "easy" way of ever doing anything . But hey, at least that last one was a small patch.
So shortly thereafter, I found the cache site! As others have said, the layers of 'camouflage' didn't deter me at all. HOWEVER, the fact that the lock n' lock container was covered in camouflage tape? COMPLETELY threw me off. Had ABSOLUTELY no clue where the cache was at that point. Just... completely baffled me in any way, shape, or form. But then I realized... AHA! CAMO TAPE! And the cache was found .
