We lucked out with dry weather over the weekend for our latest round of geocaching. Picked up a few finds, which is always nice. It hasn’t always been that way though. Early on in our geocaching adventures, we’d go out rain or shine. I particularly remember caching at night in the pouring rain just to [...]

I am very happy to report that we found our 300th geocache. We decided to head to an area where we had found several of the Halloween 2008 geocaches. I’m growing to like this area. We even found a nice little hole-in-wall restaurant that we like. As it was last week, the trails were sloppy. [...]

(Don’t call it spelunking to a caver.) I enjoyed the challenge. While we brought along climbing gear, I left that part of the adventure [...]

A couple of weeks ago, we decided to go after some terrain 5 geocaches that would elude us otherwise. Since the lake was frozen over, we headed to the water to do some island hopping. The lake is a popular boating lake, with lake homes dotted along the shoreline. In the middle is Coney Island. [...]

The other day, I met with a friend from back in the day. I found the experience a bit surreal as my family and husband were with me. It wasn’t a bad thing, but reliving a time that my husband didn’t participate in and one which my family was not that involved with either felt [...]
