So, I busted out the GPS today to do a little geocaching.  During lunch a coworker of mine and I went out to hit some right by my office.  The first one was easy, just your garden variety "virtual" cache.  The second one was a half-mile away so we decided we'd hit it as well. 

I was trying to glean clues from people's logged comments.  There was mention of someone bringing their bike up stairs, another mention of nooks and crannies.  I still didn't find it.   After the third snake I encountered I decided that I'd had enough and would call it a day and come back when I'm more prepared.  It was amusing though:

Coworker: "Oh look, here's the cache, they put a fake snake on the-"
Snake: *flicks tongue*
Coworker: "Holy shit!"
Me: "Yeah, that's not a fake snake, buddy."

One of them was a nice looking ribbon snake and the other two were small green snakes.  I might have liked to have taken one of them home if I didn't already have my heart set on an albino pink corn snake like I had before it "disappeared" (put in quotes because I still doubt the circumstances surrounding its "disappearance", but whatev). 

Still didn't find the cache so I'll have to go back.  I think I'm going to have to get one of those metal reachers.  I don't like digging around into nooks and crannies that certain critters like to hide.  I like snakes, don't get me wrong, but I get ten kinds of wiggety if it's not my own.  And bugs? Fuhgeddaboudit.
