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 .

BOY SCOUT GEOCOIN

Got a message that one of the geocoins that were released exactly one year ago this month has traveled a bit farther for a total of 6,188 miles so far.

It started out in Roseburg and then went to Florence OR for a family vacation. It got picked up by some vacationers and they took it south to Anaheim CA. Then some other people picked it up and moved to Big Bear Lake CA and then it went down the mountain to Redlands CA. After that it got on a jet and flew back to Milwaukee WI and then caught another flight to St. Thomas Virgin Islands. Now it has caught another flight and is on the east coast outside of Clinton MA west of Boston. This one is really moving well.

I have permission from the City of Roseburg to take one of the Discover Roseburg geocoins over to Maui with us in exactly 60 days from now. Being that all the Hawaiian Islands chain is so international by nature who knows where the geocoin might end up going from there.

The Season Begins

Well today is the first day of spring and the new season for geocaching is underway ... it has been a long off season. I have been finding some over the months but nothing like before October 25 (last entry) ... So Dawn was in the hospital over the weekend with a bleeding ulcer and they kept her till today to see her hemoglobin up to where it is supposed to be and get 3 units of blood in a transfusion. She is home and ready to go out geocaching for sure.

When I left the hospital yesterday I found a great location for a new geocache and placed one and the day before I placed one at the duck pond so the bug is back to hide more.

Going to be getting out to maintain the ones I have out there for sure soon.

A lot has happened since my last entry. I am no longer with the Boy Scouts of America as the District Executive for the county. Fortunately I filed for a VA claim on some service connected injuries and now have 100% disability so I now have all the time in the world to geocache whenever I want.

Dawn and I are planning a vacation to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary next month. We will be postponing the trip and go in June to Maui. The first thing I did was look for geocaches on Maui on geocaching.com and there are plenty over there so we will be adding another state it seems.

In a few weeks we will be going down to the San Jose area to see some family and go to an arena football game. But you know we will be geocaching to, there and on the way back for sure.

So anyway, now that spring is here ... GENTLEMEN, START GEOCACHING.
