I went exploring last Wednesday. Along my route, I found a great side trail that seemed ideal for an ammo-can geocache placement. I parked the ATV, inspected the area and got the GPSr situated and zero'd in.
I scampered up a small hill off the trail, found a suitable tree that would afford ample protection (from eyes and weather) and marked the spot.
Upon getting home, things got hectic and I didn't take the time to log the new hide.
Fast forward a week and I've still yet to log where I've placed my new hide. Last Sunday, I again decided to head out with Bill and erased all waypoints from my GPSr so I could load in the Ophir area.
Guess what? The location for my new hide was wiped out. Somewhere along a trail East of Bountiful sits a packed camo'd ammo can that may never be found (by me or anyone else).
Lesson learned. Post the geocache hides immediately upon getting home.
