This was the first time this year we really got out for a geocaching adventure. We hadn’t yet made the time to even find the caches hidden near our house, so that was our mission today. We found our first one quickly, couldn’t find our second attempt, and then found six in a [...]

Amanda and I haven’t been doing any geocaching lately, but that doesn’t stop our travel bug from making it’s way around the world. After it’s long stint in Africa, it spent some time in Europe. In fact, at one point during my stay in Belgium, I was within about 30 miles of our [...]

Our travel bug has been pimpin’ all over the world in Africa for quite some time now. Got an update today that it’s still in South Africa, but it’s moving towards the Indian Ocean, currently near the city of Durban on Umgeni Road.
Total mileage traveled so far: 11,287.6

Today was the first day in about three weeks where we actually had the opportunity to get out and do something fun. We decided to head up to Lockport to visit the Lockport Caves.

I wasn’t really expecting much, but we were both pleasantly surprised. You get about an hour tour that gives you [...]

We took a ride out to the Hamburg Recreation Center to get discount tickets for Kissing Bridge and decided to make an attempt for a geocache or two. We trudged through the snow, but determined the cache we were looking for was buried under the snow and/or frozen to the ground, so we skipped [...]

One of the cool “add-ons” to geocaching are Travel Bugs. Travel Bugs (or TB in shorthand) are items that move from cache to cache. You purchase a travel bug, which includes a set of dog tags that are stamped with a unique serial number. One tag you attach to an object of [...]

USAToday had a brief story on geocaching yesterday. It provides a good, concise description of what this relatively new activity is and it’s benefits:
Many geocachers regard the activity as a sport that blends components of travel, exercise, nature, technology and common sense.
For the game, a geocacher uses a GPS receiver to find a cache, [...]

I’ve been itching to get out and try the new GPS at geocaching, so I found an easy cache within a mile of work and ran out on my lunch break. One of the cool things about geocaching is that you learn interesting facts about the areas you cache in, and caches are frequently [...]

After seven parties in six days, we finally get a break… until New Year’s Eve, when everyone will be coming here. Christmas is by far the busiest season for us. Amanda sang four masses between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, in between the various parties. I used my last two vacation [...]

While out in the Boston hills yesterday getting some apples and pumpkins, we thought we might try and pick up a geocache. We didn’t find it, but we did find the newest feature in burial luxury:
