Creepy Cricket Cave
No long dune hiking today - just wanted to kick back and pick up a few “easy” local caches.
As we’re driving to church in Bandon this morning, we spot Bad Duck parked along 101 with his iPhone to his ear and leaning on his pickup hood with that ” Hey Rod, these coords are putting my in the middle of the highway” look on his face. I give a friendly little beep on the horn as we blow by - reminding myself to hunt this cache this afternoon.
Well, as we’re leaving Bandon I get a new cache notification. Cool! Another one to add to the afternoon’s agenda! Oh Wow! Darren put one at the old Coastal Cavern cache site! That’s going to be cool!
I head out around 2:45 pm with a short side trip to Bi-Mart for some batteries for my light source. Checked the website real quick - cool, still could get a FTF!
I enter the cave and find the cache container after about 15 minutes - Aaarrgghhh! kcscottkc was here already! Oh well, fun hunt anyway. Took some pics of the monster poisonous spiders all over the cave walls. Er, I mean, long-legged cave crickets!
Check out some video
After this cache I swung by and picked up Darren for a ride-along lifeline to go after family explorer’s two new caches between Coos Bay and Bandon. Got home in the dark - wow, the days are so short!
