It’s a pretty day out (albeit a bit chilly) and I needed to get out of the office for a few minutes at lunchtime. Brian’s GPS is still in the car, so I went to geocaching.com, punched in my office zip code and found there is a cache that’s nearby. There’s a tiny park tucked between Addison Rd and the Tollway (who knew?) So I ran out and found it – this is my first cache find that isn’t near the house.
Each cache has a name and this one’s is “Sword of Sacklunch”. If you have ever played the game Munchkin (much discussed in James’ and Ian’s blogs recently) you are familiar with that game’s mocking of Dungeons & Dragons and the like. It features horrible monsters and fantastic weapons with silly names, so I thought that a great low-level weapon might be called a Sword of Sacklunch – as in you throw your brown bag special at the evil demon in the hopes he might run away.
