Musings of R^2obGrant

So I was out caching today and I reach up to scratch my leg, and I noticed that my keys were not in my pocket, where I had put them a mile back while looking for another cache. I freaked out and ended up re-tracing my steps over a mile in the thick forest, and found them. I call it being very lucky, because I was over 10 miles from home and it was getting dark fast. If I didn’t notice that I had dropped them before I headed back to my car, I would have been in real trouble. I wanted to get eight caches today, but ended up only getting two. It’s funny now that I look back on it, but at the time I was really scared. I got all disoriented, and if it wasn’t for the compass on my GPS I would have probably walked the wrong way, and ended up somewhere in someones back yard, or falling off a near by cliff in the dark. Lesson learned, get something to tie my keys to my body.
