So I was super-excited yesterday. I was really looking forward to going to my first geocaching event. This particular event also happened to by a WWFM event. Not sure if anyone listens to the Podcacher podcast or not, but if so, then you should be familiar with the WWFM.
Any way, I was looking forward to going all week. Yesterday I was checking my work e-mail, like I do frequently from home, and saw that there was an issue that I needed to take care of right away. Needless to say I finished that up right around 11:20 am.
The event started at 12:00 pm. If I didn't get to the event before 12:00 pm, I would not know who was the designate. I wouldn't know if I was walking up to a cache mob or a mob of muggles!
So I hop in my MINI and head out. According to my GPS I could make it to the location with about a minute or two to spare. Things were looking good!
I was speeding along when I realized that I was not going to be able to keep the pace that I needed in order to get to the event in time. Once I exited the highway there were 45mph speed zones that I had to pass through to get downtown, and then 25mph once I got downtown. The outlook was bleak.
I told the MINI we had to move and put the pedal down a little further. Whoo-hoo! I love speeding! (Don't tell my boyfriend)
MINI and I made it downtown at 12:02 pm. Bummer. I saw GZ but could not determine what was what due to the fact that there had just been a parade downtown and there were people everywhere. I tried to find a place to park just to see if I could mosey over and pick-out the group. No parking spaces either! Grrrr. You'd think that I could find a place to squeeze my MINI into. Nope. This event just wasn't in my cards.
I am bummed that I missed the event, but I had a nice ride home and took a pic of a pretty tree.
