• In Which We Go Geocaching

  
  Southern Rockies Nature Blog — Authority: 419
    A classic geocache—an old ammo box full of trinkets plus a log book. Late this morning I broke off from editing a journal article on new religious movements in Ukraine and rousted M. from the sofa (where she was reading Julia Childs My Life in France ) to go geocaching. After all, we own a low-end GPS ...

  No Rocking Chair for Me — Authority: 123
  We had time for a short walk this afternoon between other things, so we headed to the Mohawk River State Park, more familiarly known by its former name, the Schenectady Museum Preserve, near Lock 7 along the Mohawk River. There was a multi-part geocache wed never tried, so we gave it a go. It was described simply as ...

  No Rocking Chair for Me — Authority: 123
  After helping Holly with some yard work, we took a short walk in Jenkins Park , in Burnt Hills, and tried our luck at a couple of geocaches there. We couldnt get the first one, but the second one was a snap. Having not yet walked very far, we then wandered some of the farther recesses of the park for a while. A ...

• Doh!

  
  Erika Jean — Authority: 423
  You want to know something funny? I got lost for the first time while geocaching . Its funny because I was only 400-some feet from my car. Its even funnier because I had just talked to my Moms husband, Dan, about setting waypoints . I was saying how for most of the ones around here I dont set a waypoint ...

• Desert(ed) Buildings

  
  Electronic Breadcrumbs — Authority: 113
  When you cache out in the desert, you sometimes come across remnants of things that used to be.  In our case last week, we came across lots of different remnants.  We came upon buildings that were barely there, somewhat there and almost all the way there.   Chaosmanor hid a cache last week called, For the Birds? ...

  3stepADS - Free Advertising Blog — Authority: 587
  You are either bored or you just plain need something to do. Do you have any cool hobbies? There are so many out there it is rediculous. If you like outdoor activities, than why don’t you try out geocaching or frisbee golf? My personal favorite is people watching and metal detecting/treasure hunting. Imagine having ...

• Exoskeleton

  
  Erika Jean — Authority: 423
  I found the exoskeleton of a scorpion in part of geocache today! From Wikipedia: Young scorpions generally resemble their parents. Growth is accomplished by periodic shedding of the exoskeleton ( ecdysis ). A scorpions developmental progress is measured in instars (how many moults it has undergone). ...

• My encounter with the locals (and why I must avoid them at all costs)

  
  The Habitation of Justice — Authority: 126
  Yesterday was my last day off before I had to head back to work, so I decided to make the most of it by doing a relaxing afternoon of geocaching . First one I found was at a park where I once worked as a camp counselor, bringing back fond memories of getting jumped and beaten by a bunch of 10 year old snotheads 5 ...

• Do You Benchmark?

  
  Erika Jean — Authority: 423
  I thought Id do a little post about benchmarks, because its not something I havent really touched on before. Many Geocachers search for benchmarks while out caching. It is something you dont have to have a GPS, to do - though a GPS does make finding them easier. So if you are interested in Geocaching, but dont have ...

  A Nod to Nothing — Authority: 122
  BEFORE YOU READ THIS POST: if you intend to go geocaching in Ritter Park any time soon, you may not want to read this post. The pictures might ruin some of your fun. To celebrate my 41st birthday, I took off Friday to go on an all day geocaching adventure with The Boss from work. Not my boss. The Boss. We planned ...

• Banged Up, Battered, & Bruised

  
  Electronic Breadcrumbs — Authority: 113
  I went out caching with Chaosmanor and the Tadpole on Saturday.  We didnt find nearly as many caches as we did on Veterans Day, but its not about the numbers, but about the quality of caches and the companionship that comes along with any caching trip with friends. I found another neat spot to hide another cache. ...

  Welcome to Captain Spaulding's Animal Crackers — Authority: 119
  I enjoy waymarking and one of the categories I like doing is the blogs category. They are a coach potato way of waymarking which is both a plus and a minus. the plus is that I generally get to see interesting things online: the negative is that they are not getting me out to see something new. However, I found ...

  Twelve Mile Circle — Authority: 121
  I know there are a number of geocachers who read the Twelve Mile Circle on a regular basis, so here is a link for members of that community who may not have seen this yet. It appeared in the print edition of Washington Post this morning, and I see it is now available online:Geocachers [...]

• Train Wreck Paddle

  
  Canadian Ckayaker — Authority: 118
  When I was in my teens, my brother and I took up scuba diving. It wasnt long before wed explored our local lake and began looking for other lakes to explore. One place we never managed to get to was a small lake where it was rumored a train had been wrecked and fallen into the water. It would have been a perfect dive ...

• Postcrossing Sunday - Scotland

  
  Erika Jean — Authority: 423
  I love it when hobbies collide. I got this Postcrossing card from Scotland, the sender is a geocacher! While geocaching.... I drove past the old Marana Post Office. I didnt know the building (remnants of it any way) existed. There wasnt a cache here, but I would have never traveled this road if it ...

  The Habitation of Justice — Authority: 126
  I’ve had all week off from work due to finagling my time around and connecting Election Day and Veterans Day to my usual time off. One of the reasons October/November continues to be my favorite months. But then of course, it rains. And rains, and rains, and rains, and rains, and rains… Man, I don’t think ...
