9/16/2006 by Kabuthunk
Let me tell you all a story. It began on a day where Kabuthunk started work REALLY late, so he wanetd to go geocaching before work. All excited, he looks out the window. It's raining. "Well, it's just a little rain", he said. So he downloaded some waypoints for a section of town he would take on, and off he went. Upon stepping outside, it was confirmed... it's not TOO bad.

A short drive later, he arrived at the beginning of what would eventually be a completed Conquista Del Mundo challange. He picked this one because he thought parking would be nearby, to avoid getting wet. Parking wasn't nearby. So Kabuthunk got to walk a block or two in the rain. But hey... the rain's not so bad. Upon arriving near the cache site, Kabuthunk realized something. The rain in itself wasn't bad... but walking through long grass, leafy trees, and generally bushy areas WHILE it's raining was not the wisest of ideas.
Kabuthunk also looked down and realized that perhaps it wasn't the greatest of ideas to wear his work clothes out geocaching in the rain.

But... for all the wetness and being soggy, the mission was a success! The cache had been found, and the Conquista Del Mundo challange was officially begun for him.

While signing the logbook, Kabuthunk also realized that he was in Winnipeg, and Winnipeg weather changes. Quickly. It started raining harder. Quickly jotting the date and his name, he put the logbook back into it's container while shielding it from rain with his body.

On another note... I'm sure it looked completely natural for a guy wearing all black and a trenchcoat to be walking out of a bushy area, in a residential neighbourhood, in the rain, in the morning of the middle of the week. PERFECTLY NORMAL!

So Kabuthunk got back to the car, soaked wet, and drove in his driver-seat-quickly-soaked car back to the apartment. Unfortunately, his plan to take on 8 caches this morning had been dampened by good old Winnipeg weather. But the quest had begun. Del Mondo WILL be mine!
