Ben had already found Don't Get Towed (GC2R6HY) but he stopped because it was a quick park and grab. It was a lamp skirt near the cross walk. I had to be a bit sneaky to grab it. We drove about a quarter of a mile to the next one, Angry Birds (GC30N6Y). That was a bird house just on the edge of the woods near a retaining pond.
From there, we got onto South Prairie Road and then turned onto 214th towards Hwy 410 to grab JAMC (GC2TV6Y) (which stands for Just Another Micro Cache) hidden underneath a road median just off the side of the road. Ben and I spotted the rock instantly.
Power Up (GCKGFZ) was behind the Safeway so we parked at the nearest parking spot and walked to it. That road behind there was pretty busy so we had to wait until cars cleared the area before we started looking. I knew it was by the power box and low and behold it was one of those faceplate box caches. I'm pretty sure someone saw us but they didn't care too much about it.
I told Ben he needed to find The Unknown Future (GC31KYC) before we went home. Bob and I found it about a year ago. That one was just a short walk across the road and behind a few businesses. When we got there I was disappointed in the last person for not putting it back better. The cache was poking out of the top of the see saw tree. Basically you had to pull up the part closest to the ground to pull down the other side of the tree for the person to retrieve the cache. It was a physics cache. We put it back better than we found it.
We walked back towards the Explorer, which had recently gotten new tires, and found out there was one in the woods along the trail called Bethany's 7th Birthday Cache (GC2E6HG). We found the trail and a LOT of garbage near the entrance. Somebody had gone "Office Space" on a TV. As we got closer to the cache, the area started to seem familiar. We got to the cache site and it was confirmed. I had been here before and found this exact cache about three years ago.
Next came the memorable cache of the day, The Dark Hole (GC23PWE).
What made this cache memorable is was what we found near it. The strange part about it was this wasn't my first time finding items like this near a cache site. We found a broken glass dildo and some fruity lube to go with it. We had to take a picture of it so when we tell our story people would believe us. Kind of ironic that we found adult paraphernalia near a cache called The Dark Hole huh?
Once we got our giggles out and recovered from that cache we needed some tots from the nearby Taco Time. We went through our change and found enough for a large order. We each used some hand sanitizer and enjoyed our tots and we drove to A Weekend in Bonney Lake (GC1234X). When we arrived, I immediately found a plastic frog tied to a tree limb with a plastic bag. Ben didn't remember this from when he found it a while ago. We just went with it and drove to the other one in the Home Depot parking lot.
Will You Measure Up? --Rule Series #1 (GC36RTG), was one I knew what it was immediately before I started looking for it. I knew it would be a measuring tape you had to write your name on. It warned that you needed a Sharpie to write on it because a normal pen wouldn't do. I lucked out and someone had put a sticker on it so I wrote on the sticker with my pen.
The last one of the evening was in the Safeway parking lot hidden underneath a Rhododendron bush. It was a crayon thermos, called the Crayola Crayon Cache (GC2H86H). The owner did this one to keep it fun for her boys.
We called it good for the day and headed back for dinner before we saw Walt and Wendy on the way back home to Olympia. There, we chatted and watched Captain America. Then we stopped at the store for some groceries before he dropped me off at home. Until the next adventure!
