Finally, a 75 degree day with no plans! When Jeff and I heard the forecast for today, we knew that a day of geocaching was in the cards. We had a wonderful time. Thirteen caches found in one day, our personal record. Hopefully we'll beat that again soon, as we have a goal of 140 new caches this year. It's double the amount we found last year...so far we're at 23, including today. Guess we have a ways to go.
For those that don't know what geocaching is, here's the deal. Someone places a container with a log and some goodies (depending on size) somewhere on public property and lists the latitude and longitude online. You plug those coordinates into your GPS and off on a search you go. The containers can be from the size of a quarter (not easy to find in the woods) to a huge container...not too hard to find. The larger containers contain SWAG (Stuff We All Get). You take something and leave something new in it's place. W has a whole collection of army men from geocaching. We've collected lots of things...buckeyes, stickers, key chains, dice, pens, etc. Once you find it, you log it and move on to the next one. Sounds like fun, huh?
Anyway, the picture above is one of the caches that we found today. That log, that's the container. Not so easy to find in the woods, among the trees. Today we were lucky, hopefully that continues.
