Welcome to You

Welcome to our blog about our adventures in geocaching around the Pacific Northwest, our little corner of the world. We started Geocaching on March 6, 2010. We are approaching 600 finds and have an even 100 hides so far.

Geocaching is a fun activity for Nosey Rosey (Dawn) and I and we do it as a team. It has taken us around our county to places we have never seen before in 13 years. The exploring is just one aspect of the fun in geocaching. We go out nearly every weekend and use multi-million dollar satellites to play our hobby for free using an iPhone and my handheld GPS.

I (Ed) go by GeoHL now since I am called GeoHotLine by some of the fellow geocachers in the area.

Wolf Creek and Golden OR





Today we went south for a successful day of geocaching in Wolf Creek, Golden, and a quick stop in Glendale for one and then at the north bound rest area to grab "back in the woods".

Back in the Woods eluded us once before with the iPhone with the over head being so dense. This time Dawn came up with it after about 15 minutes ... all I could hear was I FOUND IT - real loud .. she get's so excited on these finds that are challenges.

Golden was really peaceful. We could not find one of them and that is so frustrating. It is supposed to be a small lock and lock and we could just not find it anywhere. We looked everywhere that one could be, under the steps to the old church; under the porch to the church; we picked up every rock in the area; looked under the bench; looked everywhere and gave up on it after an hour or so ... must have been muggled.

The other three in Golden were successful and so was all the ones in Wolf Creek. What a neat little cemetery we found in Wolf Creek where "Historical Place" was placed.

We had to laugh at speed limit sign in the county park walking out to retrieve "Home Run" ... of course Nosey Rosey sniffed them both out from the their hiding places.

A little side benefit to our trip today was filling a quart container with Blackberries in Wolf Creek. The berry bushes are all over the place.

Then on the way home I checked our geocaching email and saw that a new one from "themasonfamily2" was published at the exit coming up on our drive northward on Interstate 5. A short exit to retrieve that one was all Nosey Rosey needed to finish our day of geocaching off.

Pictured ... the speed limit sign in Wolf Creek County Park, Dawn in the old ghost town church in Golden Dawn at the Golden General Store (this ain't Walmart). Another picture is of the motor in the Wolf Creek cemetery ... very unusual in deed.

All and all it was a great day and we had loads of fun and had a great history lesson in Golden.
