On Top of Tanked

Brahms6 found this one on 16th January 2011 at 08:16, 91st find.

After finding "Tanked" Wazza, Mrs Wazza and I headed up the hill to try and claim first to find for "On Top of Tanked".

Given my physiological design (I would compare it to a recliner rocker) this was quite a challenge. The path up the hill was reasonably well defined most of the way but the last bit was up to us to trail blaze.

We took plenty of rests and eventually reached the summit. We located the cache and the cacheing gods were kind to us we were first to find. Whoo Hoo it was worth all the effort and I am sure that my legs will come back to me eventually and that the lower lobes of my lungs will get over being filled with oxygen (something that hasn't needed to happen for a long time).

The walk up was a challenge but I managed to make it without landing on my butt, not so the trip down. In some inexplicable way (I am putting it down to exhaustion and shock at the exertion) my body got ahead of my legs and I disappeared out of sight into a tangle of Buffalo Grass and Lantana. When I found my feet (yes they were still attached to my legs) I was surrounded by Lantana and Grass above head height and could only find Wazza and Mrs Wazza by the direction of the unbecoming laughter.

We signed the log and I took a Dinosaur and left a Plastic arm band and a goose (Given the goose I made of myself on the way down that was apt)

My very first "first to find" I have logged this one as a favourite for two reasons. The effort i had to put in and the FTF.
