Prologue<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Before I talk about the Harvard Forest #1 cache, allow me some brief therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long has it been this time? Last post was November 7<\/a>, so just over a month. Why so long? Put simply, work is ridiculous this year. I just had my first observation on Friday. He came into my worst class. I’m trying hard to take the approach that it is a blessing in disguise because maybe he will be able to help me with the class. Past trauma tells me that this is the beginning of the end. I guess we will see which of these is true over the next 6 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did I start with that? Why do I do anything that I do? Clearly, this is weighing on me and will be until there is some resolution to the situation. Also, I suppose it serves the purpose of showing how crazy the year can be. Plus, that’s one of the least crazy thing to happen the last few weeks. Okay, two paragraphs of therapy out of the way. On to the actual introduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the last month, I found a cache every single day. I branched out into finding them at night. So far, only two can be classified as actual night caches, but they both offered new and exciting ways to treasure hunt. As I wrote to a friend, “I just stomped through the pitch black woods last night for about an hour to find a piece of Tupperware in and keep my streak alive.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Granted, the search was fun and the entire time I worried that El Chupacabra might <\/em>eat me. But, I found it!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Plus, the moon during this hike was absolutely gorgeous. Totally made up for the fact that I had to pass through a spoopy tunnel while walking along the trail and I’d have died a satisfied man.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday’s Cache: Elwin’s Cache (Day Number 98)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I went searching for another geocache called “Bird’s Eye View<\/a>“. Unfortunately, that one looked to be in a residential area and that scared me off. While out, I checked the Geocaching app and found that there was still a cache in the Bearsden Conservatory that I hadn’t found. Being that’s one of my favorite places to hike in the area, I quickly adjusted my plan. The directions brought me to the cabin on the premises (that I had actually forgotten existed and is able to be reserved) and I parked there. The reservation season is over for the cabin until March. That’s a bummer because March hasn’t been very winter like over the last couple of years. Oh well, there are two lean-tos in the area as well that maybe I can take my 4-season tent over for a weekend if it snows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
