Geocaching

Each cache will have either a notebook or rolled/folded paper in it (the log) for you to sign your user name to when you find it. If you don't sign it, then you didn't really find it is the rule.

New caches are load in the GPS.
I hope we can find them all.

I loaded a few for the drive down to Chattanooga, a few in town to snag during free time at the youth pastor's conference I went to this weekend, and a few for the return trip. All in all, I only had 1 that I couldn't find and added 16 finds to my count.

I finally got a cache in Florida. The states keep adding up.

Cool you have found a cache in sunny Florida sabidoo.
Was it a traditional cache?


We have found again some travelbugs.
It seems one came from Minsk in Russia.
The other was one people made by them self, not an official travelbug.
You only can take a travelbug when you put an other travelbug back in the cache.
So I am searching where I can order some travelbugs.

It's it allowed for neocachers as we are to take a travelbug and trade it for an other?
I think travelbugs are interesting.

You can take a travelbug with you if you find one even if you don't have one. You are to take it, log that you found it, move it to another cache, and log where you placed it. You don't have to trade them as they are not yours to keep. You just find them and move them.

One of the travelbugs we found yesterday was a travelbug meant to travel through all our states.
That one we could talk with us and put it in a cache in our state.
Found 5 caches more.

You found 5 in one day? Cool!

Yes, almost 6 but we are having problems to find that pesky multiple cache.
And my back hurts me terrible on Sunday.
Besides that it really was very stormy.

Today there was no school scheduled in my county. I have been planning to spend the day caching for some time. But, we got about an inch of global warming last night with a thin layer of ice under it making driving not so much fun. So, looks like my day off will be spent right here in front of the computer.

Snow sucks.

Yes it does and special when you want to go out for geocaching.
I think you have had more snow than we had this winter.

You can try to assemble 4 ski's under your truck and slide.

The sun came out and cleared most of the roads by mid-afternoon. Some of the back roads were still messy, so we have no school today, either. But, I did manage to get out and find 4 caches yesterday. I tried for 5, but I just could not find the last one.

That's bummer isn't it when you can't find a cache.
Are you close to 1000 found caches?

I'm done with searching for multi caches.
They take a lot of time.
I like to find traditional caches.
When you have found 100 caches, what's your title then?

Until you find your first 100, you are a neocacher. Once you find 100, you are a full fledged geocacher.

I am getting ever closer to my 1000 goal. I am at 878 right now. I hope to move a lot closer to 900 today. I'm hoping, anyway.

I work hard to be a full fledged geocacher.
When the winter is over and we are getting daylight saving time we can make longer trips to search for caches.

I went out for a few hours this afternoon and was able to find 16 caches today. The first one is one that I have looked for several times before and couldn't find. Most of what I found today was micros, but those are fun, too. I was just glad to be outside.

Todays it was our GPS that was completely nuts.
He didn't do what we liked to do ... bring us to as many geocaches as possible.
We only have found 2 caches today.

We have met an other geocacher and he told us he has taken the premium membership.
It was cool to meet a fellowe geocacher and have talked with him.
That's something I loved to have from the moment we started.
So he told my husband about it.
Yipppeeeeee he's interested now.

We tried to search the first hard rock cache.
The name of the cache is "Stairway To Heaven".

Glad that Aart is getting the bug, too. I think a lot more people would if they just went out and found a couple.

Holly and I took a little day trip yesterday to Kentucky. I managed to pick up 10 more finds bringing me up to 904! Just 96 to go for my 2nd year goal.

I also hid a new one yesterday. sabidoo went out to look for it and was the first to find (FTF) on it.

I went after three caches today. One was a new one by sabidoo. Unfortunately, someone else got the FTF on that one.

I got two more today, though, and did score first to find on those. That takes me to 907.

Still 93 to go .....

We contacted an other geocacher to ask more about the code we need to have to find the bonus code.
We did a serie of 6 caches in the polder. Only the last code caused problems.
Now I hope we are able to find this cache and get the banner on our profile.

We have found a very easy cache where you can drive through with the car.
My old aunt is interested in geocaching and we asked her to go with us on Sunday.
She's 82 years old. She can't walk very long so on this way we can show her what geocaching is.

Now i only have to be a premium member.

That's cool sabidoo and you hide caches for each other.
I would like it to find a FTF too.

To be first to find, you will need the premium membership so that you can get instant notification in your email the moment a new cache is published.

My aunt liked it geocaching, but we couldn't find the cache.
Next week we go for at least 5 or 6 more finds.

So you didn't find anything today?

Nope, absolute nothing.


I don't like it when you are searching for a cache and can't find the cache.

Sometimes they are missing. Other times, you just aren't looking at things the right way. Just don't give up!
