Geocaching

That's the "reward" for finding so many caches.

We try to find some more caches today.

I still need to drop off the geocoin I picked up last week. When the weather turns nice, I will go out.

I was out with a friend yesterday and found 17.  We had trouble finding and DNF'd 6 as well.  That was kind of a letdown.  However, I did manage to drop off the geocoin and travel bug I found around Tellico Plains last week.  I also found a new travel bug that I brought home.  Combine that with some frozen yogurt that we stopped to get, and it ended up being a nice day.

We've finished a serie of 7 caches and have found the extra cache.
For one cache you needed a spoiler pic.
I've found the cache without the spoiler pic.

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

I dropped off my geocoin on Tuesday at a cache very close to my school.

I may do one or two today.  There are a couple of news ones not too far out that need someone to be first to find.  That could be me!

Picked up one in a cemetery today. The cemetery is special to me, as some of my ancestors are buried there. I tried for another one in another cemetery, but DNF'd it.

We tried for 2 FTFs yesterday but only managed to find one.  The one we found had bad coordinates that were around 40 feet off.  I almost bet that the other one is as well.  I saw that some other people tried it and couldn't find it either.

I am headed to Kentucky today for some fun and frivolity!

Have a fun day.

We found a ton of caches.  Part of what we were doing is called "digital art".  You will see a design if you zoom out far enough on the maps.  This one was called the Kentucky Star, so there was a star shaped design of caches.  You have to solve simple puzzles to get the proper coordinates.  We found 50 of 51 of those and think that the one was missing.

We did quite a few more and ended up with somewhere in the 70s for our total find count.  That will put me well above 5800 moving towards my goal of 6,000.

That sound fun to find those "digital art".

See you are coming close to the 6.000 finds.

I love it to find lots of caches on one day.

I found one yesterday in Donelson (Nashville) that I had DNF'd on Monday.  It was an electrical panel by AT&T that looked to be wired into all the other equipment located there.  However, it is not.  You have to open this panel to find the cache.

That was cool to find that cache.
Our first FTF was similair to this cache.

I got another FTF last night with the Mrs!!!!

That's nice.

It's very warm here next days.
to warm to get out and find caches.

I wish I had time this week!

That is sometimes the problem with caching.
Sometimes you love to go and find some more, but you don't have the time.

We did some running around today and did manage to find three.  I wanted to find one so I could release a travel bug.  Groundspeak did a promotion with Element 21 and only so many people could get the free travel bug.  If you got one, you were to release it within two weeks.  Well, mine out out there and has already begun moving!

Travel bugs are always cool to get or to find.

I did find one when I dropped mine off.  It has a lightning bolt Happy Meal toy on it.  I am guessing it is the symbol for The Flash superhero.  You push a button and it lights up and makes a cheesy thunder sound.

The one I dropped off was also a Happy Meal toy.  It had a Klingon (from Star Trek) emblem that had a button that made a red flashlight bulb light up.  It is out there making its way across the galaxy now.

I checked for an event in my neighborhood.
The one who was very close was on a Wednesday afternoon or an impossible time.
The others are in an other country or far away.

It are not very much caches.
But 3 caches are found today.

I managed to find time to find 20 easy caches while on my mission trip to Ohio.

I managed to find time to look for three newer caches that have recently opened up in my area.  I got an FTF on one of them!  That brings me to 5833 finds!
