Comments: We were stopping somewhere else in the area and, for grins, I turned on the GPS and was 176 feet away from this cache. I thought it might have been the building we were heading to, but as we approached, the distance got higher. So, I turned around and figured out where we were supposed to go. It took a few minutes, but as soon as I realized what was going on, I regrouped. Because I was so turned around, it took me a few extra minutes to realize where I was supposed to be. Eventually, I tracked it down and met up with the rest of the family, who'd continued on without me. At that point, my husband did his own search and find while I stayed with our son, who was more interested in our original destination. Cindy Team Jactar
