Waking the Dead

Well, I've decided to give this geocaching a second try. Taking the GPS to work I called up EMS for the coordinates to the helicopter landing pad and they were pretty close, but not as specific as the GPS. So, a friend of mine said he has gone before and he would show me exactly what it was I was to be looking for. We decided to do this after working 12 hours so we figured we should find some place fairly close. So, we choose to go to the cemetery. In the dark. With flashlights. You should have seen how many cars were slowing down to watch three people in scrubs run around the cemetery being very disrespectful to the dead trying to find this little hidden whatever. Sometimes, when I was close to the graves near the road, I would pretend like I was praying when the cars would pass. Anyways, after searching for over a hour we decide to call one of the paramedics who is huge into this stuff. It just so happens that she was working that day and that she was the one who had hidden this cache. She said she would come over to help us out. It was the first time and probably the last time that I'll see an ambulance in a cemetery. It really made people stop and slow down to figure out what the hell was going on. So the end result was that we were quite a distance from the grave where it was hidden in a bush. What did I find? A tiny little tube with a piece of rolled up paper to write your name on. But just the fact that we had the experience to walk around in the cemetery in the dark with flashlights and have an ambulance show up, made my day. Even possibly my week, we'll see how the rest of it goes. It was something that will probably never happen again. And that is probably a good thing. It still cracks me up.
