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.

Son's Geocaching Team

I took my son and one of his friends out to do some geocaching last night. It is amazing how my son went from, "No, I don't want to do the same thing my parents are doing" to "I hate to say this but I am actually having fun".

He and his friend became a geocaching team and I took them around to find their first five. They are now known in geocaching cirles as RHSKooks. They will be running around on their bikes and skateboards looking for their geocaches all over town without a GPS, just using descriptions, hints and maps from geocaching.com.

I intended to do some geocaching today but fell asleep on the couch and took a nap for six hours. I guess I was really tired.

I did however submitted one to be published and get started on two more that will be my hardest so far. I put them at a 4 rating for difficulty. The reviewer suggest that this first one be a multi-cache. It will be in memory of the ship I was on board back in 1970, the USS America CVA-66 and a memory of sailing around the world. But, it will have a twist.

I want to congratulate Buckshot and Foxy, themasonfamily2 and Cacti_Talon for being FTFs on some of my latest hides that were published on August 22nd.

A special congrats goes out to Cacti_Talon for their FTF after so many people who looked for it off highway 42 without leaving a DNF. Cacti_Talon was able to understand the hint and wrote their comments as the same. LOL big time.

The next one as a tribute to the America will be similar.... but NOT quite the same.

Welcome to RHSKooks to the wonderful world of geocaching.
