Psycho Urban Caches X 7!

Today Nightengale and I joined forces with FlyingMoose and PyroNorm for a REAL caching adventure: the Psycho Urban cache series in Frederick, MD. The series includes both multi-caches and regular micros, only the hides are in places that one doesn't normally encounter in geocaching.

Our party met up for the first of the series in a small park, where we chowed down some donuts and coffee before making the short trek. This first cache was a hide style I had seen many times before, and it was a great way to slide in to the series. As our day progressed, the caches became more and more 'interesting' and we all had a blast doing them.

Highlights of our day included the invasion of a homeless colony; stooping, crawling and sliding through a number of water works; creating interest in passing utility employees; coming face to face with cockroaches the size of your forefinger; meeting an unusual Japanese dog; shopping for specialized equipment; tree climbing and much, much more!

I highly recommend this series for thrill seekers, nonetheless I must caution anyone who is not in at least average physical shape or fearful of confined spaces to occupy themselves with a nice tupperware-in-the-woods cache... this series requires a little grit and determination.

I can't wait to see the new Psycho Urban Caches that are in the works!
