- I'm with ya on the fuel thing. I have to plan caching now around other errrands. Kinda limiting most of the time. Actually got in 6 yesterday because I had to go to Francis Howell Middle School, which gave me a chance to do some Weldon Spring caches w/o taking too much of a hit to the wallet. The other day, I had a sick kid w/ a Dr appointment in St Peters. I insisted in getting in an easy St Peters cache while out there. Told the kid fresh air would do her some good. Actually did.
