I am back from Vancouver again. Every time I go there, I am pretty sure it'll be the last time I go, but somehow I always need to go back again. Which is OK with me, because secretly I love going. I left early on Tuesday, right in the middle of the kitchen floor renovation, so when I left the old vinyl was all up and the new subfloor was down. As I posted on FB, it was already looking better than the old floor. Anyway, I got to Iotron Tuesday around 1 pm local time, and spent a couple of really long work days getting the real-time monoblock irradiation temperature experiments done. The good news, I also had plenty of free time while materials were preheating for hours on end, so I could get quite a bit of good geocaching in. I found some excellent woods to go exploring. And I'd like to share the log with you here:

OK, here we go. Little hike to the cache site...wow, steep trail. Aha, nice spot for a hide here, hey wasn't there something about a log held up by a stump? No, wait, that was another egg cache. Anyway. I can see where it must be from this little bridge...there in that giant stump. OK, not seeing it. Hmm. GPS is jumping all over, must be the canopy. Oh well, I'll just poke around here a bit more...nothing...maybe over there? Now the GPS says it's over there. Not seeing it...Not here...not here...not here...still can't get a good fix. Well, I'll just use my geo-senses. OK, not here...nope..nope...nope...almost out of time on my lunch hour...well, crud, I'm going to have to come back tomorrow. OK, I'm back again. I'll find it if it kills me. Now. The GPS is still pointing at the big stump. I looked in there several times yesterday but maybe I just overlooked it. Hmm, still not there. GPS is pointing here today, that's new...nothing here...nothing here...oh great, now the batteries died. Oh well, it wasn't helping out anyway. It's gotta be right around here somewhere. Nope. Nope. Nope. Getting frustrated...and dirty...what did the hint say? Better use the geocaching app to look at the page again. Roaming, so that'll be expensive. Oh well, let's go. OK, got the hint. Hmmm, from the bridge eh? OK. Here I am on the bridge. So it should be that way. Guess I have to bushwack a little...must be...THERE. Huh, it's not here. Not here...not here. It has to be here! Where is it!!? WHERE IS IT!!!?? OK, fine...I give up. Oh wait, there's another bridge over there. Let's take a last look...oh. There it is.
