Twice, while peeing in the woods, I spotted a geocache.<\/p>\n
In one box, I found a pair of haircutting scissors. It was up<\/p>\n
near a lookout tower that I\u2019d hiked hours to. That hike about<\/p>\n
killed me. I had to rest all the next day to get my electrolytes<\/p>\n
balanced. I rolled out my sleeping bag on a metal frame and<\/p>\n
mattress. One should stay away from metal in a lightning storm\u2014<\/p>\n
there was metal all over that tower. Once when I was young,<\/p>\n
I was in a tower when it was struck by lightning. It was the loudest<\/p>\n
noise and brightest light I\u2019ve ever seen. I was terrified. If I hide<\/p>\n
a box for someone to find, I would put in it a booklet of lightning<\/p>\n
rules, a notebook and pencil, a pocket knife, and a compass.<\/p>\n
I would leave a note that said, write your dreams and find your way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
