92 in 30. But it seems so trivial all of a sudden

Like wow. I mean, like totally wow.

See, I had this whole thing planned out in my mind today about how I was going to get stopped this evening and type up a great a positive entry on how I had, in the first thirty days of GeoCaching, gotten 90 (actually 92), making my average of 3 finds a day.

However.

Tonight’s last cache just completely bummed me out. I’m in Jackson, GA right now at a juncture where 3 major truck stops are on the east side of I-75. There’s a cache about .14 mile from me as I type this. And going after it bummed me out.

The cache is a micro, meaning it’s just a small container with a log in it and it sits in the middle of a cemetery. That’s not what hit me so bad about this; I can handle cemeteries…even at dusk and in the dark. What bothered me so much was the state of disrepair this particular cemetery is in.

Granted, it’s an old cemetery. But there are headstones in there that I saw that dated to 1993 for date of death and this place looked like it hadn’t seen a caretaker in years. I only wish that I had brought my camera with me to document what I saw. A headstone, broken off, partially buried and, when uncovered, had the inscription “Gone but Not Forgotten.”

I about cried right then and there.

So, no pictures like I had planned. I’m just not in the picture posting mood.
