Pandora's Cache

myrthburgh

This is a large cache with LOTS of swag for trading: stickers, toys, games, caching supplies, and more! Many thanks to SFTX for her MANY contributions! If you look through the swag, please ensure the log book and trackables box are placed near the top before you head out.

This is my front porch and geocachers have my express permission to search for this cache. That said, please only visit during daylight hours and when the cache is enabled.

If there is a car in the driveway, you might be able to discover a trackable while you're here. If two cars are in the driveway, give a knock or a ring. We'd love to step out and say hello. Happy caching!

The Eyes of Texas

Wow! What an adventure! First of all, it was dark, so I’d grabbed my flashlight as I exited the myrthmobile. I looked around a bit, read the hint, looked at some photos, and decided it was either missing or buried in the corner under that mud. I grabbed a natural TOTT and started poking and scooping. Then the architect-residents of said mud pile showed up. They cried foul and scurried angrily EVERYWHERE. I checked my grip on the TOTT to ensure they weren’t scurrying angrily on me then went back to poking.

Striking something solid, I doubled my enthusiasm and soon had the object in sight. The very moment I exclaimed “Eureka!” it disappeared—into a water-filled hole about eight inches deep. That water was immediately helpful in getting mud and six-legged protesters off the container. I carried it back to the parking lot, rinsed it more in a puddle there and then extracted the log. Or tried. It seemed all my splashing about had signaled to the local swarm that a buffet was nearby. They flitted hungrily EVERYWHERE I had skin exposed. I doused myself in repellent; some of them gave up, but most just thanked me for the spicy cocktail and kept up their meal. None of them tipped me though 🤔

After toweling off the container, replacing a torn baggie, and signing a fresh, dry bit of paper, I put everything back together. Instead of angering the creepy crawlies again, I placed it about six feet away at the next big fence post. It should be easier for the next seeker. Unless of course the recently unhoused decide to rebuild over there.

All this for a digital smiley face and an origami “Treasure”!? Absolutely!

Thank you, diamonddoodlebugs. God bless! Ephesians 2:8-9
