Trip Out Of The Fog And Into The Sunshine

Today I went early and drove north to get some traditional caches. Started out in the complete fog and by the time I hit the first cache it was bright sunshine, albeit very cold. On a side note, when I parked to get Trick or Treat II, the park was closed. There were several other cars parked and so as to not block them in, I parked off to the side. When I got back from my 20 minute jaunt to the cache, there was a county mounty parked behind me giving me a ticket for parking on the grass. My left two wheels were on the grass though in an effort to justify my actions to the officer I explained that I didn't want to block anyone else in and could he please give me a warning? He stopped writing his ticket for a brief second and then replied that since he had already started it he HAD to finish it. I wonder if that's the line they teach police officers in police officer school?

On another note, when I went looking for Let's Go Swimming I was stopped by a state employee doing some brush removal in the park. He warned me that there was a cougar spotted in the area the last several weeks. He talked about different ways to avoid a cougar and if that wasn't possible, what to do if I encounter one. I listened intently. All in all a very eventful caching day. :)
