And so it begins...

Another hobby/passion/obsession. This is one we can all share, though. We went on our first geocaching outing last night and I can tell I'm already hooked.

We didn't find anything last night, but I learned some things.


What to do:

  • Leave more time - caching with two little kidlets makes even an easy rated cache harder to find
  • Read the ENTIRE listing, including the comments for a little help so we have and idea of what we're looking for. This helps with the above situation.
  • Bring snacks even on a short outing. Inevitably, said kidlets will get hungry even though it's only been 20 minutes since you all finished the dinner you brought to the park.
  • Seek out caches located near playgrounds for when attentions wane.

What NOT to do:

  • NEVER cache in the evening when Taz hasn't napped. I repeat NEVER cache when Taz is tired. No good can come of it in the end.
