"Hi there" came a voice from the neighboring camp as John, Susan and their dog Butch piled out of an old truck with a fishing boat tied to the top. Of course Sam is set in motion and Butch and Sam proceed with the butt-sniff, a ritual greeting dance for dogs, while John, Susan and I get acquainted using the more civilized handshake approach. John and Susan were on the hunt for a geochache. Scattered by the thousands world wide are old army ammo boxes with official geocache stickers plastered on the sides tucked under rocks or hidden in trees located using GPS coordinates.
The irony of this chance encounter with John and Susan on their modern day scavenger hunt is that John was born and raised in Nevada City, California and he and Susan still live there today; Nevada City is my hometown.
Just outside of Leadville, Colorado at the May Queen campground on Turquoise Lake is a geocache with John and Susan's signature.
Is there a geocache in your backyard?
