Encounter With The Springfield Police

Today we wanted to find all the caches that we could in and around Springfield, Missouri before we had to leave for Kansas City. One of the caches we tried to find was on a pedestrian bridge over a 4 lane highway. I have had so much trouble with bridges that I just would not quit on this one. I did not want to be whipped by another bridge. We were rained out several times during our search. I was carring an umbrella during most of the search. After a couple hours of total desperation, I called FireFighter's Wife in Kansas City for help. She had found the cache a week before. She talked me through in great detail where the cache was hidden. It was gone. As I was winding up my search I was approached by two Springfield Police Officers. I had been reported as having a gun on the bridge. They were very nice and wanted to know more about geocaching. All I can figure is that someone mistook my umbrella for a gun.
