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 ... http://geocachingwithus.com/blog/?p=188 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 ... http://geocachingwithus.com/blog/?p=184 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 ... http://geocachingwithus.com/blog/?p=172 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 ... http://geocachingwithus.com/blog/?p=166 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 ... http://geocachingwithus.com/blog/?p=159 [singlepic id=53 w=320 h=240 float=]I 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 ... http://geocachingwithus.com/blog/?p=90 [singlepic id=71 w=320 h=240 float=]Next 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 ... http://geocachingwithus.com/blog/?p=81 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 ... http://geocachingwithus.com/blog/?p=79
