Today, they hit #19, and got rewarded by a friendly visit by our mascot, Sigmund the Skunk! #19 is ditched up in the hills by Blackhawk Country Club, one of the more swanky golf courses in the area. It's a total gated community, and the only way that you can hide a large cache, anywhere near it, is to use the access roads into the nearby Mt Diablo State Park. And since #19 is loaded with prizes, we also want to make sure that no one inadvertently stumbled on it, searching for errant drives or anything... so it's ditched waaay up there, securely, in a hole -- evidently shared with our friend Sigmund. So today, when FamilyL4 got the find today, they were chased down the hill by a pissed off skunk! And when they came back to re-hide the cache, the same pissed off skunk was still defending it's lair.
Thankfully, FL4 moved the cache, up the hill a bit, but that just means that we need to come back and do some "cache maintenance".
Congrats again, FL4, for sneaking right ahead of 4Wheeler, another local cacher who is just on the precipice of finishing the series as well! 2 Years ago, mutual friends of ours, JESWES, convinced us to go out with them and do a little caching with the kids.... and this was just 1 week after FamilyL4 convinced them that it was a fun thing to be doing with the whole family. Well, FamilyL4 has been devoted, die-hards ever since, as have we -- and we both are ripping through the local caches in our area. (JESWES still needs to be convinced to cache periodically... they don't have it in their blood).
Clear here for the latest updates to the CaddyShack leaderboard.
