Not cache related but I needed to share this!

How things change

I have been caching for almost 2 years...but only successfully for a little over 1. LOL

I noticed a few days ago that suddenly several caches "disappeared" from the area. I investigated a bit more & it looks like 3 local cachers just up & quit. How sad.

I do not claim to be a "die-hard" but I cache when I can. It is a sport that takes some commitment with motivation. Some days I am not really motivated to drive 20 miles to find the newest cache but some days I am more than happy to drive 100!

Some cool caches went away but there are still some to find within 10 miles of my house!

Happy Caching!

DNF

Sunday was a boring day so I logged into geocaching & found a cache which was "published" on November 7th (but didn't show until Nov.18) & got excited.

An 8-leg mutli-cache-WOO HOO- I'm up for it!

I gathered a couple geokids & we headed out.

*OMG*

We found 5 legs without much problem. It was fun for the new kid but the rest of us were kinda getting burnt out fast. How many decon cans in a tree can you hide for one multi cache???

It started to snow & then got dark fast so we called it a day.

This DNF was a DID NOT FINISH.

Benchmarking

On the trip home from the Flash Mob I noticed the tell-tale signs of benchmarks not far from where I had searched before. (It's funny how much you see when you are not the driver!) I got excited!

Today I went and tried to find them based on my mental notes. I did not look them up again I just went out found what was there marked it in my GPS and photographed it. I got home and looked them up to find I was looking at State benchmarks which are not in the database.

Bummer.

I'm going!

I got Friday off to go to the flash mob on Saturday!
The hubby & Son#2 will tag along!

Now I have to pick how many geocaches we should attempt on the way down & back.

I have planned a side-trip to the zoo & Red Lobster!

IS IT FRIDAY YET!??!
