Spring Break Geocaching On Way To Florida

I drove south to the Sunshine State over spring break to visit my family and during my travels I took a little time to geocache so I could earn the state badge.  There were some interesting finds along the way.  My favorite was the tower.  Dana and I hit one ‘did not find’ cache in NC.  We spent 40 minutes on that little bear and surely looked like a couple of fools on the ground.  What made it fun was laughing at ourselves and each other for being so determined and coming up unable to log the find.  Some of the GPS coordinates had us going in circles. What’s up with that geocachers of America?

Mid March Geocache Finds

Geocaching has become my new hobby. With less than 20 finds under my belt, I am now a Premium Member. There is a lot to learn about geocaching. It’s a global treasure hunt (that seems to be very popular in Germany, my country of birth).

More Geocaching

Saturday, February 28, 2015 – about 5″ of snow on the ground and 30 degree temps.  I found my first cache buddy, Misty the Maine Coon Cat that had been sitting in one of the caches below for about 2 years. I moved her to a new location. Happy trails Misty!

Friday, March 6, 2015 – about 8″ of snow on the ground and 20 degree temps. Found this cache on the way to Massanutten for a day of skiing, bruising, and lots of soreness. Great workout.

Geocaching – A Real World Adventure

3 Steps to Begin Your Adventure

1.  Free apps for iPhone, Android and Windows Phone use your phone’s built-in GPS to guide you to geocaches.
2.  Pick a geocache and then use the app to navigate to its location.
3.  Share your experience.

Once you find it, sign and date the logbook, re-hide the geocache exactly how you found it, and share your experience online.


7 finds for my first two days of geocaching. So awesome!
