| The cache hound Artemis finds treasure |
I love it when I can kill three birds
with two stones. Yesterday the sun was beginning to go down when I
got off work around 6:30. I am due to replace my phone this Saturday,
and in the meantime geocaching after dark is getting more and more
challenging.
The dog needed to get some exercise, I
needed to find my daily geocache, and I was out of cat food, much to
my Calvin's frustration. How to accomplish all three before darkness
set in...Well, I remembered hearing of a dog park in Shakopee, and
that there was a geocache in the park. Off to Shakopee we went.

I had never been to this dog park
before...so of course I missed the entrance by about 50 feet. For
about 15 minutes Artemis and I took a walk before we realized we were
not in the dog park, but rather the walking/biking path on the other
side of the fence. Back along the path we go.
We finally found the entrance to the
dog park and I used my Garmin to get me close to the cache. After
about five minutes of searching, we found the treat!
Artemis enjoyed running and playing
with the other dogs and worked up quite a pant by the time we found
the cache.
As fate would have it, a mere half-mile
away was the shopping district and I was able to grab Calvin's cat
food, as well as some acrylic paint for an upcoming project.
MISSIONS ACCOMPLISHED!
