I don?t have a cell phone so it would have been a very embarrassing yelling
for help.
And the adventures continued today. The first cache I tried to find and the
first one I stopped looking for was Meramec Greenway Micro. I was looking a
while and then took a look up. At ground zero there was a 20 foot long 1
foot in diameter log suspended in the air being held up by two small
branches. And there was another dead tree leaning on it. Further
investigation revealed a couple of other leaning dead trees. With the wind
blowing and remembering the law of gravity, I decided it was not safe to
cache there.
The last one I attempted was Bench trench. I was looking around in the dead
wood in the trench and noticed there was a copperhead about 2 inches from my
fingers. Fortunately they are generally docile and my fingers where near
the tail. So I decided to stop caching for the day.
I went over and rode my bike across the new bike trail on the McKinley
Bridge. It is really neat and a great place for some caches! But I had no
bad luck there.

Lesson learned:
Don't go sticking your finger into places where it does not belong!
Good thing you got it unstuck or that would have been a very embarrassing
Phone-a-Friend.
Last time I did that kind of thing I got stung by a wasp.
PS: Any children reading this, the lesson includes your finger and
your nose.
Just laughing with you Jim. :-)

Here is my log from yesterday on GC16171 A GRANADA BISON
Well this was interesting. There were some mugglers so I sat in my car
listening to Prairie Home Companion and read the logs for the cache before I
tried for it. That turned out helping and HURTING. After they get their car
packed, I head over to the spot. I see something wrong and pull it out. I
thought this was easy, but it was not the cache. So I pulled out its partner
and it was not it either. Then I remembered the log entry that talked about
small fingers. So I stuck my finger down where I pulled out the second one.
AND MY FINGER GOT STUCK. That was not fun. But I finally got it out and it
still hurts! While my finger was stuck, I remembered a comment in the logs
and knew what I needed to do.
