When you think of me caching you should think of Wonder Woman. Except, maybe without the lasso or the invisible jet. You should probably take away atleast one of her bullet proof cuffs and the other is pretty chipped and broken. But I definitely have the magic tiara!

On July 4th, I wanted to go bike-geocaching along the Poudre River Trail. There were three caches to find and one was a multi-cache (5 stages!). So I got all the coordinates, got lots of water, a granola bar, bike pump, odometer/speedometer (just b/c it's fun to see how fast I can go!), bathed in some sunscreen, got the bike carrier on the car, got the bike on the carrier on the car...I was loaded up and ready to go!

After unloading my bike, getting the bag on the bike and putting on more sunscreen, I was ready to hit the trail and do treasure huntin'. First coordinate? Yeah. I gots the coordinates, but gots no GPS. Holla!

I didn't even look for the caches. That would've been a total of 7 coordinates! Granted, the clues for the multi were really clever, but there were way too many options. Which bench is it under, which grove of trees do I search, how do I get through an electrical fence...

The trail was awesome all the same. I haven't been out there for some time now. My sis has had my bike since April. I get to "borrow" it with advanced notice. I went back to the trail the next day, with GPS in hand. Found ALL the caches and had a GREAT time with my first bike-geocache.

So you're wondering about the whole Wonder Woman tie-in? Just that a previous post boasted my amazing, nay, super-hero-like ability to find hidden treasure without a map or compass. I'm not as super a super-hero, or as good a cacher without a GPS as I'd like to think.

I bet I'd look good in red boots though...
