From a very long day of geocaching with our friend Alastair: finishing a 31-stop challenge cache in a very high-topography county park on a gorgeous spring day. My Fitbit claims that I walked 42,498 steps (18 miles), which could be true: going uphill, the steps were very small (because steep), and coming back, ditto (because exhausted and knees complaining).
Thanks to cell reception after our 31st cache (one cache was not findable due to a fallen tree, which meant some necessary info was missing, which we solicited from the cache owner via email—which meant we needed connectivity to access his reply), and thanks to some very tired and error-prone but ultimately successful arithmeticking, we prevailed and found the reward cache (#32)!!!! It's in that tree there. Really!
Here's a screenshot of our route, courtesy of Alastair (the line on the left, between the blue marker and the upper loop, is actually a road and not part of our hiking route):
