What is that Thing? (M3) – (2nd attempt)
I’m not a fan of having to work early on a Sunday morning, but being a train driver at Central Station in Sydney means that I do get a little spare time now and then to go exploring the immediate surrounds. So I took the opportunity earlier today to have another crack at What is that Thing? (M3) (GC1CGQM). This is the 3rd in a series of caches by bainsworld that were inspired by the movie The Matrix. The geocaches in the series are located around Sydney city in prominent places featured in the movie – this one, near a roadway under a stone arch bridge that featured in a rainy nighttime scene.
A familiar spot for fans of The Matrix
Since my first attempt at this micro cache I’ve learned much about caches – the various shapes, sizes, and places where they are best hidden, and I am developing my “geosense”, or the ability to think like a geocacher – to think about the surroundings, and hiding places. I had been thinking one specific place in particular that I really wanted to try on my first attempt – but I just couldn’t because I hate looking too conspicuous in busy public places, but this time – breakfast time on a Sunday morning, seemed to be an ideal time to give this another go.
I went straight to the place where I thought it would be, sat down pretending to wait for somebody while feeling around behind and under me on the object I was sitting at, and sure enough, I was right on top of it. Yes! Such bliss!
Mission Accomplished
It feels so good to get a previous DNF checked off the list – this being the second of successful “second attempt” DNF’s now found felt even better. We’re looking forward to hunting down the other Matrix caches in the series soon.
