The weekend's geocaching


Rock Chalk

Recommended Posts

I'm still very much digging my new locale here in the Pacific Northwest.

 

On Saturday, finally unleashed my kayak for its maiden voyage on Washington water. Spent a couple hours on Jetty Island near Everettt, Wa. Then made my way over to Spencer Island for some fun caching there.

 

On Sunday, the wife and I hiked the Monte Cristo Trail. (Thanks to rambudo for suggesting it when we saw him at JC's Pizza Meet & Greet earlier in the week!) Lots of good caching on that trail, including the oldie GCBC. From there, we headed to the nearby Big Four Ice Caves for a couple of Earthcaches and some traditionals.

 

And the busy weekend even included a username change! (Something I should have done before starting work at HQ.) The plural original username confused some people who wondered if my wife worked at HQ and/or was involved in HQ-related work. She's not, so a name change was in order.

 

So where did geocaching take you this weekend?

I managed to add a new state to my found list this weekend as the family enjoyed their fall break in the Dells in Wisconsin. My wife wasn't thrilled that I brought my kayak but I enjoyed the paddle caches in Mirror Lake State Park and really enjoyed the paddle EC pictured here, Sugar Bowl Island.

My caching adventure took me to a chain link fence. I need to try harder to find the good spots - or move!!

Those looks like some sweet Earthcaches. One of my greatest travel regrets is that we had not yet been introduced to geocaching when we visited Australia several years ago. And we didn't yet have a kayak when we visited Wisconsin a couple years back! Nice pics.

So true. In the 3 years before I started I spent 4 weeks in South America, 3 weeks on a Baltic Cruise and another three in the UK and Ireland.
