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.

If you have a question about geocaching ... you can email us at anytime at nwgeocaching@gmail.com .

Geo-caching in Florence

We went to Florence for this past weekend and weathered out the HUGE storm over there and yet found 23 geocaches for the weekend. Nothing like running around getting soaked and getting blown around by the monstrous winds right off the ocean.

I thought our motel was going to blow over Saturday night the winds were so bad.

But Sunday was cold but sunny up to noon or so and then it started raining again.

It was a fruitful.

We dropped off one travel bug and picked up two in our travels. I have already dropped off the two bugs in the Ivy Hotel here near the Dixonville turn off from highway 138.

Downtown Published

4PAW published a new one and it is appropriately called DOWNTOWN ... we just happened to be down on Jackson Street when it went published into my email on my iPhone so we walked down the street to see if we can find it between the sprinkles.

The size is not shown and there is no hint just a very short description. It was too wet and we got a bad signal on the iPhone for it kept telling us that we were 16 feet north of it which meant it was inside the shoe store and I am sure it is not.

So we put that on our list of ones to find and gave it a DNF ... it must be a good hide for we tore the place apart looking for it (not really). There were plenty of muggles using the walkway and I can over hear the asking each other what the heck we were doing. So I will be anxious to see who the first to find is on this one.

So we went down the street and found Axel Rose by walking right up to it. The iPhone showed the coords to be right on the spot. That makes 430 for us now on our quest for the illusive 500 mark.

We are going to Florence OR tomorrow to get out of the house. I am feeling cooped up since going to ER a couple of weeks ago and being told by the doctors to not drive and not to do any work.

Of course we will both be doing some geocaching while over there and of course we will be getting some clam chowder at Mo's. There is some new geocaches north of the area we had geocached the last time we were there so we are going to explore the northern reaches of Florence.

The 10-10 Challenge for UVGA

We had loads of fun even if we did have rain for the day. I would call it a very successful event and we will certainly have more for sure.

Just wait!

Taking out a couple for 10-10-10 event next weekend

I am going out to place a couple for the 10-10-10 event that will be surrounding River Forks Park next Sunday around 10 am ... have done this for awhile and where I will be doing the hide I get a lot of bounces on my iPhone so they will be a good sized cache and not micros. Lots of swag for the kiddies will be in each of them. They will be clear tupperware type of snap on lids that will be yellow ... making a real easy find. No camo at all.

If I have time I may go up on Burnt Mountain and see if I can find the little treasures up there.

It seems everyone is heading west into them thar hills to hide and find caches.

It should be a good day even with all this cloud cover.
