Despite the previous pile of attemptees, the Kabuthunk decided to go for broke. The funny thing is that I didn't even realize this cache's terrain rating until after I checked the GPS to see what it was, after having spotted it
. Then again, the cache name kinda helped out a bit.
Now, I could see this cache being a bit easier with a second person there. A group effort would definitely be of value for this one.
I of course, was alone
.
Completely, some would argue. Given it was a pseudo-rainy day, there was VERY few people in the park, let alone out where this cache was hidden. Not a soul went by during the whole caching. However... I had my bike. And if THAT counts as a second person... then so be it
. With my first attempt... I failed horribly. My second attempt, which was pretty much just a reattempt of the first... again, failed horribly
. Repositioning my bike, I mentally set myself back to the days of yore, back when I was living in the country as a tree-climbing, country-boy of a monkey.
Not literally. Well... it depends on who you talk to
.
Using my mighty childhood training, I managed to fanangle myself into a useable position. It too a fair amount of strength, as well as several now-absent layers of skin, but success was mine
. Now THIS is a cache that Kabuthunks have fun doing.
Having reached my goal, I pulled off my backpack (thankfully, I rememebered to keep it on, so as not to have to go through that ordeal a second time) and pulled out my chainmail balls and a pen. Ahh... another cache successfully chainmailled
. Luckly, the regular sized chainmail ball fit to boot
. Returning back to my bike was another adventure in itself. Y'see... I THOUGHT it'd be easy... but my bike was kinda... y'know... RIGHT in the way. After losing another layer or two of skin, I managed to get back down without destroying either myself or my bike
. Good times, good times, fun cache 
Took: Nothing
Left: Logbook entry and chainmail ball
