Found My First Cache!

Well, I used the Google Earth to track down my first cache! (NERD!) It was in the parking lot of Costco hidden under a base cover of a lamp post. There was a small plastic container with a folded piece of paper and a pencil. I counted about 28 names on the log. I added my username (rayzir) from www.geocaching.com and date with military time. It was kinda fun. Knowing there are hidden stashes placed around the city. Unfortunately, I need a GPS to find most of them. This one was easy with the Ariel photographs provided by Google Earth.

A lot of these stashes take you on little hikes around town and in parks with really cool sites or views. I think it would be a great way to get out and get a bit of exercise. It looks like a lot of families do this for that very reason. Kids really enjoy it as most of the caches contain little toys.

I think both Ian and Mark would really like it. Especially Mark. It would be a great way to find cool places for your portraits. Plus I think it would offer a lot of photo ops.

Anyway, since blogs are free and you can have them for most anything, I naturally created a blog for my geocaching. I have one for everything else, so why not? I created it mostly to log my finds and hides. You can see it at rayzircache.blogspot.com
