Go to a geocaching event

...and found things like this, where folks in Riverside, CA (too far from me to make it) are ‘hosting’ a monthly get-together for all who will, claiming elbow room at a local hangout. Sounds like it’s swiftly become a TB swapping heaven:

Now maybe we oughtta try something like that in our various back yards, as it were, rindee?

cheers when I have more to give,

It’s a little over a year since I’ve started doing the occasional lunch-and-geocaching with a couple of different friends, and that’s a lot of fun. Found the Geocachers of the Bay Area and their website; note that an active geocacher in the area both gives workshops on (a) learning to play with one’s GPS and (b) on geocaching, with a practical walkabout to nearby ones through various local REI stores – what a great idea – and also teaches workshops from time to time on making personal signature items out of fimo clay, using cane-making techniques (sort of like Venetian glass tchnique: you make a cane with a design running through it, slice it into coins, and then bake the stuff solid). I thought I’d get to one of the ones he’s doing this month, but my schedule turns out otherwise, fortunately in delightful ways, but – no events and meeting other geocachers en masse for me, yet.

onward!
