Well, I went geocaching with my sisters and some of the kids and had a wonderful time. It was a bit warm but Gargantua was cool -- was there a snake or only a sneaky snake ;-)
And the 2 part cache with the little magnet was interesting. Everyone made it look so easy so I came home thinking - piece of cake, I can find a cache.
Saturday morning, I printed one out called Stillwater. During lunch, I asked J if he wanted to run out and help me find it so I could leave off my TB and be done with that. At first he was a little reluctant but then decided the dogs could go along. We knew we couldn't be out too long as we had to go into town to have dinner with a group of people from work.
Although the log said it was only 14.3 miles from my home coordinates, the mileage to get there was more like 35. So, at 12:05 we loaded up in the truck and headed out. I expected him to turn where he always turns for work so when he didn't, I said "the gps is pointing that way". He said, I think we'd better go to the lower Stillwater road.
Okay so we got there and drove and drove and I'm watching the gps and it gets down to one tenth of a mile and J says "there it is". "There" was an old cabin that was in shambles. Sure enough the gps went to 0 right by that pile of mess.
We searched for over an hour and a half but then cause we had to get back decided we needed to leave. We'll go back there again and see if we can find that one. Meanwhile, I'm checking out one that is about 20 miles from here on the highway and if I can't find that one, about 40 miles away is a TB house which is super easy so I can find it and get this TB on his way.
Darn - I really wanted to find that first cache on my own (well with J's help) because it has a tb pig in it that has traveled over 14000 miles.
Last night on NBC, there was a 3 minute blurb about geocaching. There are over 1/4 million caches in 200 countries. guess that can keep P & S busy for a very long time.
Oh well, if at firt you don't succeed, try try again so wish me luck.

Did you look at the pictures that people posted with their comments of Stillwater? There's one that shows someone with the cache. It's probably located right around where that picture was taken..
It doesn't look like there are very many near your house so you should be able to find all of them eventually, and with all that open space, I'm sure you could have fun placing them as well.. I get a list every week of new ones within a hundred mile radius of my house and every week there are an additional 30-50..
I did when I got home. We searched everywhere in that bush behind the person holding the cache because that's where it zeroed out - I'm definitely very friendly with that bush now. Your dad (the synic) is already thinking he should put a cache up on the mountain when we pack in later this summer. I have to explain to him it needs to be somewhere we can check on it if needed. We'll see. Going to White Bird this afternoon to see if I can find that one - Roamin' root beer needs to get on his way.
Since the three teams from Cooltown are all getting close to our 500th find we have made a pact that we will do that one together and that it will be a fun one. We also want to place all of g'mas cow stuff in a cache and call it "This ain't no bull". Sure people would be glad to take it away from her. Maybe later on we can do the same with the collection of pigs she has acquired. Good luck
