Geocaching

So, there is this thing that exists in the world and its called Geocaching. Basically, people have hidden treasures called geocaches all around the globe. They post the latitudinal/longitudinal coordinates to the treasure, and anyone can go find them. It is the greatest thing ever invented! (Nerdy much?)

I went for the first time last weekend, and have been anxiously awaiting this weekend to go again, this time with even more treasure hunting enthusiasts. Here are some of our adventures.

The cache is called 'hood wood. Basically, we were walking through a peaceful neighborhood, and then we nonchalantely disappeared into the large forest at the end of the street. Pretty freaking fun. (Notice the mysterious red reflection waiting to eat us up...)

We searched and searched for the find. There were 9 of us looking, but we were still having a hard time finding the prize. But then, Dave saved the day! Hidden under a rotting log was the cache. Inside we found mostly boy scout prizes. We didn't take any as the rules state you must replace them with something of equal value, and I didn't have anything that cool on my person!! Also, we were eaten alive by monster mosquitos, though Dave magically escaped bite free.

We continued our adventures, finding drop after drop. Some highlights:

And to round out the evening, we found a totally obvious, not even pretending to be hidden cache right out in the open. Our clue to the find was "eye fourty."


Now that you all are incredibly curious, check out geocaching.com. Once you have a username, lemme know and we can be friends. (PS: I'm AZeyespy). See you on the trail!
