fenchurch | Today's Photo: Geocaching can be hazardous

So, no exciting photo today, I'm afraid. While going after a Geocache yesterday, I had to do a bit of bushwacking... and, well, I mean that literally! I ended up running into the ends of some thick, low branches *twice* while trying to get through the underbrush and over some fallen trees (getting stabbed once on each leg, one above and one below the knee). Ow, ow, ow! It hurt yesterday and was actually pretty painful last night when I was trying to sleep, but let me just say I was glad today was so warm (we got up to 60!), because I was able to get away with wearing shorts... I tried jeans, but they kept brushing the bruises and, well, ow!

So far, I think this is my worst Geocaching injury and I really hope it remains so. I still can't believe I managed to do it to myself *twice*. Way to feel like a complete idiot. Ah, well... I got the cache and that's what matters, right? And in case anyone is curious, I'm actually still doing a Geocaching streak, despite planning to stop after hitting 1001 days in a row of finding a new cache. I did run out and get a cache today, despite the bruises, which puts me up to 1090. Yeah, really.

So, here are the bruises. Still painful to the touch, but I'm hoping to be able to wear long pants tomorrow.
