A cache with my buddy

I was asked today to help a very dear friend of mine move some of his household goods to storage in preparation of his upcoming move. I have known "Los" for almost three years now. Our friendship developed when I was given the glorious chore of being our company's operations sergeant(all possible sarcasm intended). Shortly after that I found out he was a true hockey fan and wings faithful! Instant friendship! We continued to develop a relationship over the years, talking hockey, work, kids, and whatever came about. During a conversation a few weeks ago I found out my good buddy was also known as "locckdown" on my newest hobby Geocaching. As we sat in McDonalds today eating lunch I pulled out my phone and fired up my Geocache Navigator. There it was. 500 feet away. "So Proudly We Wave". I looked at Los and told him we're doing it! Off we went for a brisk walk, got to the GZ with ease and searched for a min before I saw it hanging from a branch. We signed the log, looked over the "treasure", and put it back as we found it. I have no doubt that this may be the only time Los and I get to hunt together. Once again I will have to say good-bye to a dear friend as they move along in this big green machine.  Saying good-bye to those I have grown to love has become one of the few things I can say that I truly hate. But such is life. So when the time comes I will stand and "proudly wave" as my buddy moves along. Take care brother!
