I wish my husband enjoyed geocaching as much as I do

It's so sad. I can hardly get him to do park & grabs!

Oh, well- His loss!

I'm going to do a cache machine!

And I'm going to have a ball!

I have a plan!

OK, I know that no matter how well I plan things happen. I will adapt, I will overcome. IF necessary.

My PLAN for this summer (since I will have to work most of it):

• Waymark the places within my town from the National Register of Historic Places. (I work in the middle of one district so that will be my noon walk!)
• Do more benchmarking within my town. (I have pretty much cached-out the immediate area)
• Finish the waymarks from my trip to Helena- over 45! (That should take at least 2 weeks)
• Attend the Lewis & Clark Festival/geocaching event on June 28, 2008.
  

So there's my plan.
Wish me luck!

So I found the last of the 3 "Famous people" buried in Great Falls. Woo Hoo!

They will be waymarked shortly!

Benchmarked. Waymarked.

Wow- if I could only come up with a great geocache this would have been a home run!

Today was a full day of geocaching, benchmarking, waymarking & Photography! Son#1 had an appointment at Ft. Harrison so I drove him. We found 5 benchmarks & 2 geocaches. I must have found about 40 items to waymark.

It was a great day!

I'm slowly getting out more.

Today was just fun to let one of my nephews find the cache!

Getting out and about again

I decided that whether my GPS wanted to work with my laptop or not I was going caching!

I found a easy one yesterday


Today I told the hubby i was going out and invited him along. he begrudgingly hopped in the car. We struck out on the first try- a micro I had attempted before without any luck. (Maybe the third time will work). Then we headed down by the river for a level 4 difficulty. I figured if we couldn't find that one we'd head home. We followed the GPS to within 10 feet and began the intense hunt. As we searched an older truck pulled within 15 feet, parked and the occupants sat watching the river nearby. A few minutes later the passenger tossed a bottle out her window in our direction. We moved away. They left shortly after and that is when the hubby spotted the cache. So we signed the log and headed to the 3rd cache. Super easy find. On to the fourth and final cache. Another easy find. We dropped a coin and singed the log.

As we headed to our victory ice cream stop the hubby started to discuss how it may be a good idea to look into a hang gun since the occupants of the truck did not appear to be very friendly. I am not opposed to guns and do not intend to carry a sidearm while caching but we went to look a few. I did not think we would purchase one but we did.

It's funny how easy it was- 45 minutes and here is his spiffy new toy.

Now I get to pick a really cool computer!!

Geocoin lost inventory

I thought it was only 1 coin (maybe two) lost.

NOT!

I have 4 missing coins.

Damn.
