go geocaching

Found my first cache today! Heroes Wall. So now I can officially say I am a geocacher! Wahoo!

Turns out, I may have found one after all, just was looking for the wrong shape of a thing! I’ll have to go back this weekend and see if I am right! A friend who geocaches looked at the url for the easy one and sent me a link to the picture of what the case looks like and gave me some pointers of places she’d look based on what the cache site description said. And, lol, I think I found it but thought it was part of the flower bed sprinkler system. oy vey. The other two, still have no idea, lol. But, maybe I’ll have a find under my belt soon!

Well, I tried. Hunted three, found zero. :( I think I don’t know how to look. And the hints don’t make sense to me so don’t help. Very frustrating. Stopped when I got hungry and had lunch. I’ll try again another day. Maybe I’ll actually find one then I can say I’ve actually done this, lol.

Got an iphone today!!!!!!!!
And just downloaded the geocache application! I may go ahunting tomorrow!!!

I need to do something about my cell phone and have been looking at the iphone. Which has a great gps…. Which would kill two birds with one electronic stone… lol. The phone cost has been bothering me until I realized I was looking at spending $200 on a gps and $200 on a phone and the iphone is less than those put together. duh. And I could start this goal!!! And a girl at work was showing me her iphone today and I was telling her about geocaching and she was really interested. So, maybe a treasure hunt buddy?

Am researching GPS’s. I need one that will work well but that I am willing to spend the money for. heh. So far, I am not thrilled with GPS devices… Think I am spoiled by google earth and the GPS devices seem lightyears behind that in terms of the image you see. So it has me perplexed about what to do… lol.

found geocaching.com and created an account! So, I’m learning even more. My friend and I are meeting for drinks tonight to plan our first outing. She has a gps so we can use hers to try this out. Cool!!!

So, this interests me for some reason. Maybe the treasure hunt aspect? I’ve been wanting to find something I can do that gets me out of the house and trying something new and meeting new people. While this isn’t exactly a group thing, lol, there are a number of group gatherings and events in the areas on the weekend. And, a friend of mine wants to do this, too. So, we are planning to go together sometimes. I think it will be something interesting to do, learn about new areas of town, give me something interesting about me for when I do meet new people, and give me a way to go to these group events and meet new people.

You always hear that a great way to meet men is to get involved in something that interests you and go to events. But the it is always something like cooking classes that NEVER have men, lol. But this does and the bonus is, I really am fired up.

Need to get a gps. Need to research something I guess. Lots of trees around here so I need one that will work through trees.

Fun!!
