wider than a mile.
I'm crossing you in style someday.

The Waterbaron, a South Carolina geocacher, placed a geocache near the famous Moon River here in Savannah last week. I was actually in the parking area for it last week, taking pictures of water birds. But I didn't know it was there.
Anyway, Chaos & I set out today to find that cache. Only problem.... I get to the edge of a creek & the GPS says 200 feet on the other side.
Now I have on occasion been called stubborn. And I certainly proved it again today. I was determined to get to that cache!
There was a small dam of rocks across the stream. I could probably have stayed dry on the rocks, but there were shells (barnacles) & I was afraid Chaos might cut a paw. It looked pretty shallow from where I stood, so I moved a few feet away from the rocks, said "Come Chaos" & in we went. It quickly rose to knee high, but my feet were already wet, so on we went. Then I slipped & I was up to my waist! That's OK, still going, finally back on dry land (with my truck on the other side).

Took less than 10 minutes to find & log the cache.

Now, time to go back to the truck. Once again I say, "Come Chaos" & step into the water. Chaos dug his front feet into the dirt & barked (I think he said I was crazy), then he growled, then he whimpered and followed me across. Back in the truck I think he was comparing me to his mother (if you know what I mean.)

Oh yeah, good thing my Rino is waterproof. Too bad my new digital camera isn't. Gene is doing CPR (Camera, Please Revive) on it now.

The first step to recovery is accepting you have a problem...

"Hi. My name is Penny, and I am a Cache-aholic"!

Penny, I hope that the water temps down in your neck are warmer than here. No freaking way would I hop that far waist high right now up here. I like the cold, but not *THAT* cold.
