Since we were planning to be in the neighborhood or the Friends bookstore with a couple of hours to spend adventuring, I downloaded a half dozen Geocaching cache sites. Interestingly, there appears to be a cache right on the Book Den' dock. Given the number of people watching us as we poked prodded lumps of garbage, I'm sure they wondered what we were doing. But we never were able to find the cache.
The next two locations were quite deserted giving us enough time to actually find the cache. One was close enough to a restaurant that we could smell their bread baking. We decided it was as good a place as any to eat. The place is run by Vietnamese and all the meat is either cooked "differently" or is some sort of sliced animal that does resemble anything we're familiar. We ate the sandwiches but we're on the look out for more familiar fare in the area.
I hope there are no caches by any federal buildings.
ReplyDeleteI know your comment was made in jest but there is a serious note about it. According to the Geocaching rules a cache can't be placed on private property without the owner's permission and isn't to be placed on government property either. Government employees who have more trigger fingers than brains have been known to suspect caches as bombs or spy message stations and, without checking them out, blown them to bits as a "safety measure".
