This is for a cache (GC449RD - Empty Spaces - Pink Floyd #3) which many people found difficult to find until some data was corrected:
OK, I'm a few days behind on logging these. Bet I'm still faster than SiNwYrM :) So, after meeting a few people at the Winter Meetup (#1), MessSGT, JoesDolphins, SiNwYrM and I set off to look for some caches. I left the cursed walking stick behind but I may as well have brought it as I had awful luck today.
Oh, this cache! Wanting to get the FTF, Team US set off early to reach this cache in particular. On the way, the Thompy team told us they couldn't find it. We found some of the other caches along the way before arriving here to see Team Thompy already here for a 2nd shot. We searched for a LONG time. Ken and Jeanne came along and joined in. There were at least 10 of us climbing the rocks. This would have been quite a sight for a muggle. We eventually gave up and sought the other caches on the trail.
After finishing up the "other side" series, we started walking down Springfield Rd as we didn't park on each end. We then cut across Old County Rd., about a one-mile walk from the trailhead, in order to redeem our DNF. While we were walking along Springfield, we were notified of the new coords. We knew there was no shot at FTFing it now but since they were new coords, we wouldn't have had FTF if the correct ones had been posted at publishing so, no harm. We made the hike over and found it very quickly, especially compared to our previous search for PF #3. Thanks for the cache!

I have climbed highest mountains
I have run up the trail
Trying to FTF
Trying to FTF
I have slid
I have crawled
I have scaled this rocky wall
This rocky wall
Trying to FTF
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I have reached in these gaps
Kept relying on the terrain map
Checking every op'ning
I just kept on hoping
I have searched with the best of cachers
But this cache, well, it was a devil
No, I found no delight
"DNF it," I moan
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
Hours later, got new coords
We had to hike back up Old County Rd.
Old County Rd.
But yes I'm still hunting
When we arrived
And we looked around
It wasn't long
'til 'twas found
'til twas found
But can't FTF it
But I finally found what I'm looking for
But I finally found what I'm looking for
But I finally found what I'm looking for
