Needle in the Haystack. by ladymagpie

Needle in the Haystack.

SORRY I HAD TO RELOAD THIS PICTURE. If you commented could you kindly do it again, thanks.

I expect you're wondering where the title comes from, there is no haystack in view or a needle poking you in the eye. Well it was a wonderful sunny day to get back out into the countryside for a bit of geocaching.

I had been to this place searching for a small tube hidden somewhere in these trees, it was like looking for a "Needle in a Haystack". My GPS kept taking me to the same spot but I had to log this as a DNF (Did not find). The cache owner had been out to check it and discovered it had been replaced higher in the tree and way to high for a vertically challenged old pensioner, they put it back where it should be. So today I found that needle.

I just had to link this to a song and I bet you think I can't. So here you go back to 1964 (I was a sweet 17 year old). Enjoy the link, I did:
