Christmas Caching

I know I have not been good about keeping this blog up to date, but I have to tell you about the latest one.

About the time I would normally turn off the computer and head for bed, I read an e-mail telling me where all the latest new caches were. I couldn't believe it. There was a new one just down the road from me, and nobody had found it yet. I had never had a first to find, and I had never gone geocaching at night. I don't normally go geocaching once the cold weather sets in either. So, when I told the hubby to grab his coat, he looked at me and said, "It's eleven o'clock!" But he could see by my eyes I wasn't about to wait for morning and take a chance someone else would find it first. No way. It was December 23rd, and to me this was like a Christmas present I just had to go find.

It was a lovely evening, and it was amazing how many people we passed on the street. Mind you, most of them were walking dogs. We had no trouble locating the cache, but anyone not looking for it wouldn't likely just come across it accidentally. My very first first to find, and there was no special surprise for me to take home. There were several travel bugs and geocaching coins in there though. Normally I'd make off with one of them but since I won't likely be venturing out again until spring and the mosquitoes arrive, I thought I'd better leave them for someone else to help along their way. Still, I was happy to have this little adventure. I believe it was placed by the local Girl Guides and I do hope they enjoy watching some of their treasure move across the globe soon.

While I won't be out hunting treasure for a few more months, I have started a new blog at www.otherrambles.blogspot.com . I the rambles may be about where I go, or what I do, or just may be me rambling on about whatever is on my mind. I hope you follow me there as well.
