HOBBIES OLS AND NEW

FIRST CLUE WOOD AND HAMMER

FOUND IT...SEE IT?

CASHE LOG INSIDE. Old hobby and new hobbie...I have revisited an old hobby I had many many years ago...fishing....been having a ball not catching much yet..... but I have to relearn everything.

New hobby....Geocaching....this is so much fun..........Geocaching (pronounced geo-cashing) is a worldwide game of hiding and seeking treasure. A geocacher can place a geocache in the world, pinpoint its location using GPS technology and then share the geocache's existence and location online. Anyone with a GPS device can then try to locate the geocache. The first 4 cashes I have found by clue only ...no GPS...not easy....most do not give many clues. Any way I posted my first find so you can see how it works....the clue was wood and hammer....I looked it up on the maps provied on the web site and went from there....I found the wood sign and and the hammer ...first pic....looked all around the ground didn't see a thing ....looked up at the hammer and there it was...second pic...wedged between on the top of 2x4. Got it opened signed the log and put it back for next geocacher.....it was so much fun trying to figure it all out then the hunt and then the find! Some of the caches have items in them and you can take something and leave something in the cache but always sign the log....to make this more enjoyable and be able to find the hard ones I will have to get a GPS..I have been wanting one anyway...so guess this will be on my toy list. Looking at the geo site I was very very suprised how many are hid in my area. Go to the geo site sign up (free) and check your area....I used my zip code to locate them. This is very addicting but you really should have the GPS. Well can't figure out if I want to start a new blog or just use this one for everything...I'm still working on down sizing and selling everything.

blessings to all
