Go to a geocaching event

first learned how to find geocaches… but I’d like to go to another one this coming Spring…

It was fun to fit the local geocachers faces with their names and comments I was so used to seeing on geocaching.com. This was a family event at a local resturant, so it was also fun to meet spouses and families and see geocachers in a non-geocaching setting.

...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!
