Just returned from a week in the Sunshine State…..a very short week it seemed! I can feel more Florida vacations coming in our future. Although neither of us wants to move there it felt so good to take a little chunk out of this NE winter. For the locals it was a cold winter, but [...]

This summer’s vacation was so much fun. Larry & I both love visiting places we haven’t seen before, places with some history. Neither of us is apt to say ‘hey, let’s go to the beach for a week’……especially me, I guess! So many people said “why?” when we told them where we were going, but [...]

Happy New Year, everyone!
It’s been sooo long since we last blogged…..time to get back to it….a new year’s resolution?
Yes, we’re still caching though with this very cold New England weather and the holidays it’s slowed us down a bit (current cache finds of 1227!). A lot of caching has happened since I last wrote. Larry [...]

Yesterday as we drove toward northern Worcester County for an afternoon of caching we saw so many areas along the highway that still show serious damage from the ice storm of last December – thousands of trees topped off by the weight of the ice or bent over with their tops resting on the ground, [...]

There are days when I think we should find a support group for geocachers. Wednesday was one of them. Maybe ‘Geocachers Anonymous’? The story goes…..
We dropped off Jim & his family at the Manchester Airport for their yearly excursion to Disney World. Then….we couldn’t resist a little prep time for a future caching day. Had seen [...]

There are loads of great hides out there, also lots of typical hides and many typical caches. But what about the ‘great caches’? I’m talking about those cache containers that have something of the ‘wow’ factor – those that are just a little different. They took some creative thinking and some effort on the part [...]

Nineteen caches! We broke our own record today …..and if it wasn’t for a DNF or two we would have broken the big 2 – 0 for the day as well. It’ll happen!
Yesterday we visited some areas of Plymouth, MA that we hadn’t seen before. Usually coming to such a tourist-y area you end looking at ‘the [...]

think spring may actually be coming around! A month ago it felt like we might never really get into caching again but here it is mid March and the weatherman is threatening 50 degree temperatures. Couldn’t we use more threats like that!
Though we’ve done many caches over the colder months, last weekend was our [...]

ext to virtual caches (which are now apparently a thing of the past), our next favorite type of cache is the earthcach. As Shirley mentioned in her blog “What is a Cache?” earthcaches offer a physical science lesson. They are generally special places that people can visit to learn about unique geo-science features or aspects of [...]

It’s been a long winter for caching. We’ve finally hit the 800 mark and now we’re creeping slowly toward the next milestone. At this rate that’s probably 810! There’s been lots going on that doesn’t involve caching…..there’s holidays and birthdays, snow storms and especially cold temperatures, social engagements and now tax season…..and for some reason [...]
