A warm November day..

Made a quick stop today after watching the new Twilight movie with CelyG. We were able to make the find fairly quick. A nice little cemetery. We snapped a few pictures of the old gravestones. One had beautiful flowers and they looked real. Nice and bright on a cold November afternoon.

At least the rain was only a drizzle when we got to GZ. Total days caching...113!!

Off the Grid?!

I know it's been a while since I blogged last. However, the kids have kept us busy, and well when it comes to blogging , unfortunately, I am a little lazy.
We have been keeping the streak going, after today, the streak stands at 112 days, approaching the 1/3 mark! Today I sopped in Georgetown to get the cache, after spending the morning at a local quilt shop.
The weather was beautiful, a little overcast, but it wasn't cold, so it made getting the cache no problem. It was located in a little park, which was deserted. The ground around GZ was a little muddy, several times I had started to sink and had to find more stable ground.

The nights are darker very early and it's getting cold out too, thank goodness I'm this far in, I can't stop now!

Later.....

It's getting dark out there......

After a quick dinner, MiniGomes and I went out to get the daily cache. We left the house at about 6:20pm, still light out but not by much.
The cache was not too far away, just a quick drive to Sandlewood and Heart Lake Road. We arrived at a nice little park called White Spruce. By the time we got to the designated parking area, it was time to get out the flash light. Not totally dark, but definitely not enough light. The cache was only 30 metres from our parking spot and MiniGomes and I were able to make the quick find.

This is nice little park that we'll definitely have to return to during daylight and perhaps a little warmer.

Also of note, is that today is my 89th straight day of caching!! After tomorrow I'll be one quarter of the way through this project!!

Happy Caching!

Happy Hallowe'en!!!

Today was day 86!! As soon as I came home, I went out to get the cache before all the little trick or treaters came out. It was a simple cache not too far from home. I had tried this cache before but came away empty handed. It was a very cloudy and rainy day and the iPhone was bouncing all over.

Today was different, with the clear skies the iPhone lead MiniGomes and I right to GZ.

I Am Not Part Of This System

A unique and fun hide.

More caching to come, I'll try to update the blog more frequently.

Caching Frenzy!!

I know it's been a while since I last blogged, but we have been keeping up the work and have kept the streak going. I have a few pictures but they are still on the iPhone. Hopefully I can download for next time.

So tonight CelyG and I went out to get our cache. We were scouting the area to determine our best approach to GZ, went the iPhone started to buzz! Four new caches!! Where were they and could we possible beat the Flintstones and get a FTF? So we looked at he description of the first cache and the CO was Flintstone himself! That made CelyG very excited and determined to to get a FTF. So off we went, as these caches were not around the corner, they were close to Derry and Dixie.

We arrived at the first GZ and was happy to be the FTF!

At the second cache, again we were greeted with a FTF!!
A Cache Made for A King

At the third cache, we did not get an FTF, however we met up with a fellow cacher.

The last cache was done in the dark and CelyG and Nicjonh, got closest to GZ, however, from about 5 metres above them I was able to spot the cache container. Again not a FTF, but a fun find.

A great night of caching that was made possible by fellow cacher Flintstone5611. Thanks for all the great hides tonight!

68 straight days and still counting.......

60 days and counting......

Sorry it's been so long since my last update but I just can't remember to log on every night, other things keep getting in the way.
However, tonight's adventure was memorable enough that I decided to stay up and get some words down. Plus, I have reached the 2 month mark!! Yeah!!!
So tonight I was a busy after school activity night. Mark was with Mason at swimming, and Celeste had piano lessons then play practice, and both Mark and I are starting to come down with a cold. I drop Celeste off at 7pm for her play practice and I decide to go for a cache just of Queen Street.
I was able to park at the Legion just down from the path system into the park, it was a short 250 metres toward GZ from there. A nice evening for the short walk.
As I approached GZ, I decided to read the hint as it was getting dark and even though I had a flashlight I didn't want to be there for too long! I followed the hint instructions and was soon looking between all the rocks and in the crevices. At one point, one of my feet got stuck and I could not get it out! I thought I would need to call for help (thank goodness I did have my I phone), but I was able to keep calm and get my foot out. After that little incident, I rested my butt on a rock and ended up staring straight at the cache! A nice ammo box in the middle of the city. One worth checking out!

Only 10 more months to go.....

Afternoon Cache.

Today I worked from my home office and it was such a beautiful fall day. The rain held off during the moning and I went out at lunch time and was amazed by the nice temperature. So I decided that it would be a perferct time to pick up the daily cache.

I drove a few kilometres from my home, and spotted a local trail head and decided to pull over and see if there was a cache and of course there was! I was a little worried as the terrain was at level three. However, the cache was less the 100 metres away, so I was pretty sure that I would be able to get to it.
After a short walk down the path, I approached GZ and it was a nice little area.

I thought how can this be terrain level three? However, getting to GZ was a little challenging as there was a lot of brush to go through and the terrain was rough, but it was manageable! A very nice hide by an active local cacher, Flinstone5611.

Caching Between A Rock And Hard Place

I also have one picture from yesterday, I forgot I was able to take one with the iPhone before it got too dark.
This was not where the cache was hidden but the stump was a good decoy to distract us from the real hide.

Well, that's it for tonight!
