“From April to November, cachers should be careful of rattlesnakes. Remember, of course, that rattlesnakes do not eat much. It is just the first bite that hurts”.
The above is part of a geocacher's caution statement when describing his cache hide. This stuck with me for the whole day!
Earlier this week, son #3 and I had a rare day off at the same time, so we decided to go for a ride. On this day we decided to ride and explore Paddock Reservoir, and Dam. Paddock is about 70-80 miles NW of Boise. I also threw in some cache's, which is the first time out caching for #3...and he thought it was fun. In the end I think I programmed to many of the cache's, which took a little attention away from the riding portion, but #3 didn't complain and said he had a great day.
Found the first area to unload after the pavement ended on Little Willow Rd.
Here we are at the first cache. The rattle snake warning was from this one...the first cache on the day. You will notice a re-occurring theme, which I will explain latter.
We are starting to take notice of where the caches are hidden. I'm thinking a ferocious Rattle Snake is about to come out at any time. By the way...one of these caches was name "Rattle Snake Way".
Thinking snakes the whole way, I presume this was the last person who tried to find the last cache!
