Trip to "On the Rocks"

Sorry to anyone who has been expecting updates for the lack of them. Consider it my summer holiday from this blog. :)

I was recently motivated by my friend to head over to a nearby cache that I hadn't yet been to, so I packed my gps in a small bag along with some other items and we headed off! It was only about 2.5km away so we arrived soon. The cache was up a steep hill that we climbed up. The GPS co-ordinates weren't very accurate so we spent a little extra time finding this one than usual. After looking around, I found it near a dead standing tree, under a rock. I instantly noticed that this sort of hiding spot must be it. I took some of the rubble away from the front of the cache which was there to block it from direct sight, and saw a white circular object, which was the plastic cap for the cache. I took the cache out and called over to my friend that I've found it!

We inspected the cache together, and upon opening the first thing we both noticed was the vast amount of water that was in the cache. The pencil and logbook were soaked even though they were inside a minigrip bag. The moisture removers were completely soaked, and any other trade items that might have been in there were wet. I signed both our names in the logbook with great difficulty, placed the items back in the minigrip bag as my friend was trying to fit everything into the container. I had decided to leave an old sharpner for whatever reason.

We returned to our bikes and headed back home. A successfull trip all round!
