A Precarious Perch

Title: A River Runs Thru It
Location: N 38° 41.050 W 077° 54.240 (GCMN64)
Owner: Team Hot Cache
Team Members: nSilico, Daedalux, Izzy
Status: Found, TNLNSL - Took Picture, #3 of 4

Whoever hid this cache was a complete sadist, but it was a lot of fun. Spoilers It was hidden at the hollow end of a giant log hanging high over a narrow river. The coordinates were actually for the middle of the river and at first it was unclear if we were even approaching from the correct side. nSilico correctly devised from the clues that it had to be the high hanging log, and I gleefully shimmied out across its slick surface. At worst I would have gotten wet and embarrased, but thankfully I didn't fall. I can't help but imagine that the cache is only going to end up floating away with the current one of these days. Putting it back was even tricker than retrieving it!

No Fear
It was a beautiful location, a challenging find, and the cache even contained a disposable camera with the instructions to take a picture of ourselves and replace for the owner. What a good idea! Of course taking a picture of yourself is tricky, and I have no idea if I got all of us in the picture or not.
My dog Izzy had a great time sloshing in the water and then rolling around on the sandy shores. She was a completely contented with becoming a complete mess, and ended up looking like a giant ball of dirt by the time we got back to the Jeep. At least she had fun too.
