Hi Trailrunning
I have done this type of thing on several occasions, but by far the best was a caching trip of three days to the Central Highlands in Tasmania where on the first cache visited and found I left my glasses behind; mostly needed for reading!
The cache concerned was GCM32F "Holey Holey Holey" by Team Tweeti at New Norfolk - logged the cache, took my photographs and then drove to the next enroute cache GC1B4QJ "Lest We Forget" at Gretna (S42 40.981;E146 56.347) some 50 or so kilometres along the road.
A frantic search of the cache mobile was made by both of us only resulting in a non-find. NO!! We didn't return to the original cache but continued on for the remainder of the caching tour.
However, on our return home and after the purchase of new glasses, in fact two pair; one for general use and one to keep in the car; I receive a phone call from a fellow cacher, who until then I had not met; stating that he had found a pair of glasses at the aforementioned cache and asked if they were mine.
Stating that they were, arrangemnets were made for me to collect my now third pair of glasses from the home of DnA! and we have been good friends ever since.
In fact that caching team (DnA!) had occasion to ring and ask for help on a cache just as I was needing help on another. I was suffering cache blindness and a comment rang out over the phone "Have you lost your glasses again OldSaint?" Laughter was heard from both ends of the phone call!
Thanks for this cache and letting me tell you my story;
Cheers OldSaint.
