wow. i thought geocaching would be just a fun pastime. i didn't think it would have any actual honest to goodness real world benefits. i explain. the beautiful and talented alisa was shopping at target. she left the cart and started searching for sweat pants for g a few feet away. moments later the cart was gone. would be just inconvenient except in the cart were the pictures we needed for the boys' school emergency kits. tomorrow. and alisa's favorite re-usable cloth bags. annoying. so we talked to the nice (young) security guard. then we began a systematic search of all the shopping carts in the building. the assumption was that a clueless person had walked off with the wrong cart. no luck. eventually we returned to where we started. called for a fresh look on things. which is something you gotta do when the hide's got you stumped. possibly several times. okay, so what if it was a malicious or inconsiderate person who wanted the cart but not the stuff. and didn't realize it was in use. or didn't care. they'd grab the stuff and stash it. so where? heh. the cache was quickly located now that we had the correct point of view. hooray for geocaching!
