MOGA 2005, Sullivan, Missouri

Today was a very hard day for me. At 9:00 a.m. I entered the Geocaching Hard Course. It was 3 hours of find as many Orienteering Style Punches in very hilly terrain in Meramec State Park. I got too much sun and was exhausted when I finish the course. I found 15 punches and came in on time.

This afternoon I teamed up with Brian Yonke to do the Easy Couples Course. Carlin is still recuperating from a sprained ankle and not up to helping Brian with the course. This was another 3 hours too much sun and I think the caches/punches were harder than the hard course this morning. We also came in about 8 minutes late so we lost a punch for every minute we were late. I was really dragging low when we finished this a little after 5:00 p.m.

We met a bunch of cachers at Buffalo's Southwest Cafe and enjoyed a great meal together. After diner we returned to Shelter #1 and enjoyed a great presentation put on by some of the park people and some cachers. I bet I sleep well tonight.

I think I broke my step count record today.
