What is the deal with this Rocket100 guy? Well, I'm assuming it's a guy. Someone who has no profile, has recorded no cache finds, appears on the scene, placing a 'cache' ... just seems creepy and dangerous to me. I'll be watching to see what happens, but I, like several others, are in no hurry to be the first person to the hunt.
I pray there isn't some nut case out there trying to cause drama.

Bogus Cache?

A Perfect Cacheless Saturday
Ok, well, despite a totally crappy evening following a totally crappy week - I was awakened by my spousal unit to an invitation to get breakfast at Waffle House, followed by riding our bikes at Watkins Woolen Mill State Park, and GeoCaching. For whatever reason it took me over an hour to actually respond, wake up, get up, and verify that the invitation still stood. Amazingly - it was true. We've had these bikes for a year - standing in the dining room - and have never used them. But now - they were loaded in the family truckster - road-ready. And so - with caching gear in-hand (hmmm, desperately trying to remember if the WWSP caches were loaded in the GPSr... not to worry, have the trusty GPS phone w/me that will have it anyway) - we were off. We both decided it would be best to ride first, and eat second. We stopped at a convenience store in Kearney for the necessary water, grabbed some cereal bars for a quick snack, and headed to the park. A GORGEOUS day - cloudy but perfect temps, nice breeze without being windy. We unloaded the bikes, and hit the trail (WHY is the caching backpack sooooo heavy). I immediately questioned our sanity when I remembered 4 things.... I'm obese, and soon to be 41, and a smoker, and haven't been on ANY bicycle in at least 20 years. BUT - we survived, and were never lapped by walkers or other bikers. Unfortunately, as I had suspected, A Wild and Wooly Cache (GCKHN4) was not loaded in my GPSr, but did show up on my phone - but somehow throughout the ride we never got what I would call close to the cache on the bike trail, nor did I see what was an obvious intersection of a hiking trail with the bike trail that would lead to the direction of the cache. I may have just missed it, but we ultimately came up cacheless today. Truly enjoyed the trip around the lake, and can see why it attracts so many family bikers... with any luck, we will return. After the ride neither of us found the thought of Waffle House attractive anymore, but boy doesn't a sub sandwich sound like just the ticket. After a quick stop at the Subway on North Oak, we were back home, and ready for naps.
