Caches that require going up trees or up heights have never been my style. Cache owner of Vertical Madness and Purple Heart wanted me to attempt his caches. Made the plans and brought two people with me. I did observe that since my retirement from the National Guard, I am out of shape and too heavy for this type of caching. Generally speaking, I have not completed many hiking type caches in the past few months. Currently, I have my doubts that I will try to go after these two vertical caches again.
I did have enjoyment watching others complete the mission and did grab two caches, Purple Heart Gotcha?? and a rest area cache, Taking a Break.
There have been other distractions of late. Since I have over 30% VA disabilty from wartime service, I am eligble for the Tennessee Sportsmans License (Lifetime) for $10. Usually the prices for my age group is around $1,800. I have utilized the license and with purchase of the Type 167 doe permit, I have bagged two female deer this season. First one, using an AR-15 and dropping the deer with one shot from 160 yards. Bear in mind, I don't have telescopic sights on my rifle. I have also enjoyed going on my first ever duck hunt. This spring, I look forward to frog gigging and turkey season.
