Cache Visited: The Silver One
Tuesday, 10 July 2001 - 8:25 PM MDT (-0600)

Hey, thanks for a fun evening jaunt to gorgeous country. Today I found my first cache (Flying Monkey Mesa) and had so much fun that when I got home to St. George, UT, I had to find another nearby cache and go again. I grabbed my roommate and we headed for Leeds and Silver Reef. This cache was my first blind cache, searching without a map. I ended up heading down a dirt road into the ravine or valley due west of the cache, a road blocked near the bottom by a large round boulder. I'm not exactly a skilled 4-wheel-drive in-reverse driver on narrow roads with no room to navigate, but I made it back up. Then I misread my GPS and headed too far south, around the metal gate (if you've explored the dirt roads near the cache you'll know which gate I mean). Finally I got a clue and paused to read the GPS coordinates and compare them to the cache's coordinates like any sane or experienced GPS stash searcher could have told me to. But hey, it's only my second find!

I took the green Hot Wheels car and left a shark pen and six one-dollar bills. Perhaps any kids in a cache-finding group would find money and a toy a fun find.

- Astounding out.
