Boy... the name "the eternal flame" was definitely suitable for the cache TODAY, anyway. Most of my geocaching today was, according to theweathernetwork.com, done at a "feels like +43 degrees celcius". But this one was a lot easier... it had cooled down to a balmy +36 by the time we left Carman and got to go after this cache .

But yeah... spent the day with relatives in Carman... and instead of having the entire day spent shot chatting with relatives nowhere close to my age or having no common interests, I snuck some geocaching into the travel time!

And man, I've been wanting to go after this cache for like... EVER! I actually FIRST pseudo-attempted to go after this cache in late fall last year, shortly after I started geocaching. Unfortunately, the roads were INSANELY muddy, and I virtually got stuck while trying to turn around on a dirt mud road to get onto the one leading up to the cache. Definitely glad I didn't do it then, because the car would have been stuck, and no towtruck on earth would have been capable of going after it .

But... wait I did, and cache I eventually got to do! With my fiancee on board (and staying on-board the car while I headed towards the mosquito-filled cache site), I went in! Took a bit of a long way around, since I thought it would be in one place, but ended up being a good distance from there. A quick detour, and I was at the cache. Signed it as quick as I could, since I was losing approximately one quart of blood per minute to the mosquitoes, and ran back to the car.

Tenacious little bastards, too! They were CHASING ME! They kept chasing me and biting me all the way to the car!

HAH! Haven't figured out how to burrow through a glass window yet, have ya! That's right... you can see me, but you keep hitting that weird, clear, solid crap in front of you! VICTORY IS MINE, MOSQUITARDS!!!!

But yes... a very fun cache that I've been wanting to take on for a loooong time .
