Yesterday I learned that an area that I had a cache hidden was completely underwater. My first thought was the fact that I had wired it to the tree where hidden. Well I decided to go take a look and see how bad it was because I couldn't stop thinking about it do to the fact that there was a couple travel bugs still in the cache and I just coudn't let them get washed away. Myself, wife and kids loaded up and head over to Field of Dreams Travel Bug Hotel and realized the cache was under about 4 1/2 to 5 feet of water. I was like wow! I took a deep breath and started off into the high and cold water. I had cell phone in one hand and GPS in the other. I was 350 feet when I started walking through the water and by the time I was with in 100 feet the water was somewhere around my belt line. Thank god it wasn't running water or I think I would have been washed away. I kept on trucking through the wood toward the cache and now I'm about 25 feet from it and now the water was chest high. I managed to climb my way through trees and what else managed to be floating in the area. I still had my GPS in one hand and now I was bitting down on my cell phone so I could free up one hand to help my way through all the trees and brush. Finally I made it to what was GZ and I was trying to feel with my foot at the base of the tree I had wired the cache to learn that the cache was gone and now floating around in the woods. I managed to float around a little trying to look for a floating amo can but came up empty handed. I had to cut the rescue attemp short do to limited light and I felt as if I was getting hyperthurmia from the cold water. I now could feel my legs stinging and it caused me to panic a little and I turned around to start heading back and the woods now looked the same in all directions and I really started freaking out. I then heard a horn honk which ended up being my wife. She thought it was taking to long and was worried. Thank god she honked it gave me a direction to start moving toward. The whole time all I had to do is just look at my GPS and figure out what direction to travel. Well after a few minutes I made it out of the wood and now I was wadding through the water heading toward the truck which seemed to take forever to get to. I was extreamly cold, wet and tired. I did all this to rescue someones travel bugs from being lost. I plan on going back out there tomorrow sense the water had receeded to search through the woods for my ammo can. My great friend WoodWalker told me he would put on his rubber boots and help. So if you happen to drive through Ward AR tomorrow and see to guys completely covered with mud it just might be us. Hopefully we can find it and give this short story a good ending. Check back tomorrow night to find out if we find it or not....
