 I was out doing some caching the last weekend and a thought crossed my mind. The account that I have on geocaching.com is technically for both my wife an I. Now normally we go caching together so it has never presented a problem before but since only 1/2 of the team was there is it really appropriate for me to log a find to that account? For the record I did log the finds. [...]  I love creating geocache’s. Everything from building the container to finding that ideal spot to hide it (or vice versa… sometimes you find the spot and then create the container after). In the area we live, we get A LOT of snow. Typical cache hiding places become much more difficult.

Fun things like geocaching, or blogging. For those of you that frequent thegeocaher.com or used to frequent the blog when it was being updated, I am renewing my commitment to periodic postings which means I am going to also be renewing my commitment to my geocaching adventures so that I will have something at least remotely interesting to write [...] |
