I finally hid the cache the kids gave me for Father’s Day. I wanted to get permission from our church, and finding a spot to hide it was difficult. All the land’s developed, so no natural area to stash it. But I found a decent spot, submitted the hide, called "LACking Nothing" (hidden at Lilburn Alliance Church) and now the page is active.
Less than 1/2 hour later, "Da Posse" found it. Man, that was fast! Congrats, girls!
Ten very funny, and yet strangely accurate, rules of thumb for going geocaching.
I went up to Cleveland for one day on business, and thought this would be the best time to drop a geocoin that is trying to get the the northeast United States. The client was done with me at around 3pm, so I went out to find a nearby cache that was also a “travel bug hotel”; one specifically purposed to trade trackables.
This was in a grown up area between businesses and at first I was concerned that I’d have to venture into the scrub. I did a little bit, but then I decided to think like a cache hider, assessed the terrain rather than blindly following the GPS, and immediately found it.
I dropped in the coin, signed the log, and headed out for the airport. Added one more state to our list of cache finds.
