I was introduced to the sport/hobby of geocaching on March 6, 2010 when I used my iPhone with the Geocaching Intro free app to find my first geocache. The first one my son and I found was near a duck pond and had a "travel bug" in my very first find. That was a MARIO and is heading north the last time I checked on it on my watch list on geocaching.com.

As of this date, Dawn (Nosey Rosey) and I have found a total of 157 geocaches and we hid our 14th geocache in the southern end of our county. All of the other ones we hid were EASY ... now we want to hide some that will be a bit more challenging. Starting with our 14th it will become a bit harder to find in the field. We want to create more ENVIRONMENT blending caches for both urban and rural. Both of us are now looking everywhere and thinking "that would be a good spot" or "there should be one here".

On June 1st I will be speaking to a local Lions Club group about geocaching since they want to learn about it as much as possible so that the members of the club can enjoy the game too. That will be great getting more people involved so that there will be more hunters as well as developing "hiders" since our town is getting pretty slim on good quality geocaches.
