A Hiking Weekend

Took the family hiking in Mac Forest this weekend. It threatened to rain and then followed through. We couldn't get all the caches at once as the little ones were wet and cold so I came back for a return visit for the rest of them. THe next day Alex and I went for In The Heart in town.

Very Good Puzzle

This was my second FTF (First To Find). Wendi and I looked at this one the night it was published and I think more than anything else, stumbled upon the correct version of words and Shadowtiger gave up the correct coordinates. So, I went out right away (9:30PM in the dark) because I know that the Corvallis area has many folks who take their caching seriously. It was a very quick find though.

South Corvallis

Today I went with a friend (non-geocacher for now) and we found two more puzzle caches I have been working on as well as two other traditional caches that were in the area.

Highway 53 Caching Run

Orange Crash and I spent Saturday caching from sunup to sundown (and then some). We had a great breakfast (finally) at Camp 18 and didn't stop until we got to Astoria. At the end of this caching run I found my 600th cache! Sunday Orange Crash took my picture with the web camera on the Maritime Museum for yet another cache.
