Remembering Buster - A new Geocache by Starcatcher55


Buster



Since my sister's beautiful Siamese cat, Buster, passed away last month, I've been promising to place a Geocache here in Colorado in his honor.  It took me longer than I thought.

First, there are SO MANY Geocaches around here that it's difficult to find one within the guidelines of not being closer than .2 miles from another Geocache. And, I had some guidelines of my own to follow on this one.

Buster did not like the dark. So, I figured his cache must be in a well lit area.  And, in addition, I hoped to find a place out in the open where his spirit could feel free.  I also ordered a special geocoin for the cache and other swag to make it really special for the First to Find (FTF) and others.

A couple weeks ago, as I was driving in wider and wider circles when gas cost $3.49 a gallon, I did find a place that seemed to please Geocaching rules and myself.  You will see in the photos how we did it.

Tonight, hubby and I drove to the spot to get coordinates and see if our cache container would fit. Then I worked a couple hours getting everything ready for the dropoff!

I was so tickled when it was "published' only about an hour later.

Here's honoring Buster.  You are not forgotten.
