not as easy as we thought.....

To log a webcam cache you need help. Someone, somewhere, has to be on a computer to capture your picture for logging the find. We called Gwen first. For what ever reason she couldn't see the webcam on her computer. She tried several things and nothing was working.....we  hung up and I called Karen.

She was not at home! She was in out getting Charlie (her dog) groomed.

oh noooo.....

We called our nephew Kyle. He couldn't see us either.

The whole time our parking meter is ticking down.

tick tick tick 

and the parking ticket police are out and about

(they were sitting there watching us put our money in the meter when we got there)

We put in another quarter for another 30 minutes and called Gwen back.

She was on a different computer and she could see us now!!!

YIPPIE! she captured a photo of us and we started to walk away.

"OH OH!"

The picture disappeared....she thought she had it saved, but it was no where to be found.

"You will have to go back so I can do it again." 

By this time tractor joe had lost all patience for this nonsense. He already had 50 cents invested in this cache and he didn't want a ticket if the meter ran out. So he went to watch the meter.

There I was, all alone, holding up my sign and talking to Gwen...

I kept telling her I was ready for my close up....

"but aren't you both going to be in it?"

Ummm....I don't think so.

She was able to get two pictures! 

I was back to the car with 3 minutes to spare on the parking meter.
