try geocaching

Got three more this weekend. I didn’t end up having as much time as I thought I would to look. There were a couple more on my list for the weekend that I wanted to try and get to, but I forgot about the yearly craft fair on the square in my town, so there was no way I was going to get to them without being spotted.

My first find!!! The location was right across the street from where I work and when I got off at 6am this morning, I had to stop and look. It took me a bit since there wasn’t much light at this time in the morning, but with a little determination…SUCCESS!!!

I can’t wait for the weekend to get here, I’ve already got my list ready for some serious searching!

I finally purchased my handheld GPS unit today and drove home all excited to get together a list of coordinates and find me some caches. I ended up not having as much time as I would have liked, but did manage to make it down to our local park to look for what I thought would be two quick finds. Alas I came up empty handed today. :( I couldn’t seem to find either one, and thought that maybe it was my GPS or something that I was doing wrong.
After checking geocaching.com to log my lack of success, I found that I’m not the only one that couldn’t find these two. One was close enough to the creek in the park that it might have been carried off during the floods earlier this year. The other was hidden in a pringles can…which was either eaten by an animal or found by some kids that have a “fort” built up in the area.

I shall not be deterred though. I’m going to go out to our local nature park this weekend and see what I can find out there!
