Well, I am back from the US.
Did a BUNCH of geocaching while I was away - had a pleasant geocaching buddy. It is truely more fun geocaching with a friend than on ones own - which reminds me that I didn’t mention Kev (GenCuster) before I left. I didn’t really have time to, so I forgive myself! *giggles*
I had previously found a cache up on Wright’s Hill which had a travel bug in it (which is an item that travels from cache to cache - which really isn’t gonna help you if you don’t know what geocaching is. LOL! go to www.geocaching.com) and I trotted back up to here to get it before I left for the states (as I wanted to take it over there with me!).
Of course it WAS April Fool’s Day and I had not checked to see if said bug was still in said cache.
it wasn’t. And I was an April Fool.
However, this inadvertently led to me making a new friend! I logged a note to the cache saying I was an April Fool of my own making and ended up emailing with the cache owner who happened to be popping by the cache to replace the container. He dropped by and picked me up and we ended up goign on a night caching mission that rocked!
I added a number of finds to my geocaching total and discovered the joy of night caching and fully re-ignited my enthusiasm for caching settign me up perfectly for my trip to Knoxville where I went out most days caching and even got one planted over there.
So, official thanks to GC for helping me with a number of caches, showing me how to more effectively use my GPS *blushes* and re-enthusing me in one of my fav hobbies! Oh and being a very pleasant and friendly Wellingtonian and getting me outta the house!
I will post some photos of certain caches I visited of great interest maybe tomorrow and perhaps update A1GP which only has one more race BOOOOOO!
