Geocaching

WOW, what we have found now is very cool.
A serie of 103 geocaches.
The caches are hidden very close to each other, so we can use our race bicycles.
Must be cool to find them all.
Maybe not in one day.

Brings to mind a power trail near here of 115 caches, named after Québec cities and towns. It's placed on a railroad track turned biking trail. I'll do it one day.

I was out caching this morning with sabidoo and his girlfriend. I found 5 today bringing my total number to 1513.

Loaded 6 more geocaches for today.

Today is my two year cache-iversary. My goal was to break 1500 finds by today. I have exceeded that by 13. Now, I only have 499 more finds to go until my 3 year cache-iversary!

I think that's amazing to find 1513 caches in two years.
Do you think you can make it 499 more geocaches before you celebrate your 3rd cache-iversary?

It is amazing. I am 1 day shy of 2 years and have only found 497 caches.

I believe I will have 2000 finds by the end of the year.

Last year we've found 216 caches last year.
Doing some series or power trails will give us more finds this year.
I hope to come close to 500 finds for this year.

About challenges.
Can you creat your own challenge?
For example to find one cache of each types of geocaches?

If I remember correctly, Challenges are only made by Premium Members. Often, Challenges are not related to geocaching specifically, but more like exploring. "Go somewhere, do something" according to the website.

I found one of sabidoo's hides tonight in the dark. It had a travel bug in it.

I have a premium membership.

It's always cool to find travel bugs isn't it?

I've never found a travel bug. Too many people take them away without logging them.

I've found many travelbugs and geocoins. I have logged almost all the ones I have found. Sadly, many cachers think they are collectible and it ruins that part of the game for those of us who have launched many trackables.

DBF, sometimes caches show if there are travel bugs in.
Some caches are a travel bug hotel.

I always liked it to find travel bugs and to see where they come from.
Maybe it's time to let the travel bug I have start his adventure.

It's 24 degrees outside, snowy, and there are a few minor icy spots on the roads. Sounds like a good time to go geocaching. I need to fill up the truck, pack some water for the day, and get some backup batteries. Lookout--here I go!

Have fun in finding more geocaches today.
Snow ... that's something I haven't seen in one year.
I remember it's fun ... very fun.

I managed to find 10. One was mostly missing, but I did find parts of it. So, I logged 9 finds and one "Needs Maintenance". I emailed the owner to see if I could still count it as a find since I did find pieces of the original container.

Have you had an answer back from the owner if you can log the cache?

I did receive an answer, and he told me to log it as a find since I actually possess part of the cache. I even offered to send him a picture, but he said he believed me. He also stated that he would get the cache replaced.

That means 10 founds for yesterday.

We have sent an e-mail to the owner of a cache we were having problems with.
He never replied.

I found one yesterday after looking for an owl. I had to wade through 3 feet of snow (we got about a foot yesterday) to get to it. I missed FTF by a couple days, which is kinda sad as it's just 3 miles away from my home, but the plus side was that I could see the FTF's trail through the woods. Easy find.

I actually thought of you yesterday. I spotted a couple of blue jays while walking back to find a cache near a bird blind. I thought you'd like that spot.

Where was it? I'd like to know where that blind is, just to satisfy my curiosity. (Maybe there were/are some rare birds there at the moment.)

It was a cache in Smyrna, TN. You can search for it on the geocaching site by the GC number: GC37M33. There is another blind nearby: GC2G3PV.
