I just happened to look at my email this afternoon and noticed that a new Geocache had been published in my neighborhood radius. There were no logs yet posted so that meant that there was a chance for me to be the First To Find it. It took everything I had to make sure I obeyed all the traffic laws on the way. I arrived at the location and started my search. The owner of the cache explained that hunters will be looking for a green "Bison" tube. My iPhone zeroed in on the dead tree the owner had hinted to in his writing. I soon realized that, although we were looking for a green container, it was probably hidden as something else. I started using my hands to examine my surroundings and after a minute I tugged on a small branch and it was loose. I pulled the branch away from its resting place and a green tube was hanging from the concealed end. I felt like a child at Christmas time as I quickly and clumsily removed the paper log. Both sides of the signing sheet were blank. I would be the first one to sign it. As I returned the cache to the dead trunk I noticed fresh footprints all around the area so I knew that I wasn't the first one here. I typed out a short message on my phone and submitted a message telling the world of my discovery. I couldn't help but wonder how the Native Americans felt when they discovered this view for the first time. What treasure did you discover today?
