You Never Know Where You’ll Find a Cacher

Not much caching going on during the busy holiday season, and that’s okay. The other day, I was driving up to Dartmouth College to watch my ninja son compete in a track meet. In Ripper the Jeep were my Ninja daughter and two of her friends. I scoped out the area on geocaching.com and found a couple of caches on our way to the meet and a couple more right on the college campus.
Once I had Ripper loaded up with all the girls, I announced that we would be making a couple of quick stops on our way up to geocache. My ninja daughter moaned and hid her head in shame, one of her besties looked confused and the other bestie squealed “Oh I LOVE geocaching!”
It was my turn to look confused, I had no idea any of her friends knew anything at all about geocaching, but she quickly explained that she’d gone quite a few times with some mutual friends of ours.
We proceeded the 50+ miles to Dartmouth, with the girls laughing and talking and ignoring me until I pulled into the parking area for the first cache. The ninja daughter got out and stood sullenly, along with her other friend, but the caching familiar friend quickly scrambled up the hill right along with me and actually made the find.
Who knows, maybe finding out that her bestie likes it will get my daughter to cache a bit more. Okay probably not, but a mum can dream.
