Expeditions
AHecht 1:15pm EDT
See story in gallery below.
These coordinates are 15 minutes from my office. I didn't find out the coordinates until I was already at work, so I had to make due with what I had with me. I didn't have a camera or separate GPS, so I had to use my phone as a camera and GPS unit (using a bluetooth GPS radio). I put on my emergency rain pants and waterproof boots from my car and headed out. The easiest access to the cache was through a backyard that was nicely mowed all the way to the river. However, not wanting to tresspass, I bushwacked my way down to the banks of the Souhegan.
After getting to the river, this is what I was faced with. I was able to get half-way across without any trouble, but the water was too deep to get across the second half dry. After walking up and down the shore, trying to find a better crossing, I decided to go for it and wade in. My waterproof boots quickly became filled with water, and of course the water wouldn't drain out.
