PLANNING

This is my only attempt for today, and my first attempt at finding this particular geocache.

I used the www.geocache.com website to identify some geocaches near where we live. It indicated 4 sites in Nicholas Sheran park, only a short walk away.

OUTCOME

I left the house at 1:00 PM and found the cache at 1:45 PM. I picked a very poor route to the building and had to work my way around a number of large nettles. I didn't realize that I would be bushwalking through some deep grass with lots of weeds and nettles, and since I was wearing shorts, my legs took a bit of a beating. All part of the learning curve of a novice geocacher. Once I was near the building I had a lot of difficulty with my GPS - it was really jumping around. I finally keyed in on the small hole under the cement entrance to the building but it took me a few more minutes to find a stick to poke in first. Once it seemed safe, I reached in and found the cache. The only item in the cache was a small logbook (aka sheet of paper) where one wrote the date and name of the finder. Find number 2. Great.

When I returned home I logged in the find on the geocache website.
