No Natz

It has been about ten years since my first allergic reaction to deet. It was swift and brutal leaving me with a crushing headache. I've been exposed enough times since then to know my body has no tolerance of the chemical. Each encounter has been very bad. On a recent visit to Florida, we found an alternative to Deet-based mosquito repellents in a product called No Natz. It worked well, lasted for a long time before re-application was required and gave me no headaches. :)

"When you go to hide a cache...

think of the reason you are bringing people to that spot. If the only reason is for the cache, then find a better spot."

There are so many amazing places in Florida to hide a cache, why put one here?

Stalked By a Drone While Caching

We were caching along the Tamiami Trail near sunset when we suddenly being stalked by a drone. It was clearly following us at very close range and there was no one else around. At Ali's request I held back from my desired reaction of taking the drone down with a hefty thrown rock, but still feel the behavior was intrusive. It was on a public trail so there was no question of our trespassing. I hope this isn't some new strange form of stalking. The next time, I will take the privacy invading machine out of existence.

Despite the privacy invading jerk, we found the cache and enjoyed the super bright snow moon rise on the last evening of our Florida vacation.
