The Quest for Dopey - Silver Spring, Maryland

Posing with Dopey
July 13, 2012 - Lucky Friday the Thirteenth!!  After yesterday's disastrous hunt we decided not to try to find Bashful just yet.  Instead The Lorax Gang and Jenners 3 (-2) decided to go after Dopey since that's precisely the way we felt after our last geocaching venture.  We didn't have much light because we didn't start out until 7:30 pm.  The GPS led us right to the very spot where the geocache was supposed to be (unlike our phone app of yesterday that completely led us down the garden path--so to speak).  Trouble was, we STILL couldn't find it!


Who's Dopey?
We looked everywhere and the most frustrating thing was that we were SURE we were in the right spot.  Around and around and around we went in the same area without finding the stash.  The clue even said, "Look up" which we did to no avail.  Then suddenly I happened to look up at the branch and there inside the hollow part of a branch, being held in by two sticks, was the cache.  Oh happy day!  I was so glad to see that Dopey grin!  We took pictures, signed the log, and put it back as we found it just as it got dark.  Tomorrow we will continue our quest to save Snow and probably try to find Bashful once again, but this time with the GPS.
