What’s up with Nanos?

Larry | December 31, 2008

I don’t like nanos. Before I get into nanos a few words are necessary about “traditional” caches. Traditional caches are the original geocache type generally consisting of a plastic container or ammo box containing a log book and all sorts of geo-goodies. The cache size is generally medium to large and fairly easy to find [...]

Muggle Magnets

Shirley | December 31, 2008

Yeah, that would be us!  We could be 50 miles from no-where, not another living being in sight, no cars, trains or planes, no bicycles, motorcycles or scooters or whatever form of transportation you might prefer.  We’re alone.  The woods are deep, dark.  It’s late in the day.  We’ve had a nice hike into this [...]

The Dumpster and the Donut Lady

Larry | December 29, 2008

OK….just for the record, we really dislike little metal magnetic micros…..With that said we headed out to a Dunkin Donuts in a nearby town to locate such a micro. …..GZ was at the metallic dumpster which was surrounded by an 8 foot metallic chain link fence. After pulling on the metallic box fastened to the back of the building we finally decided [...]

Virtual Caches

Larry | December 23, 2008

When we first started geocaching in the spring of 2007, we concentrated solely on traditional caches since they were the least complicated of the cache types. Multis weren’t productive enough for us. They took too much time to do and at the end of the hunt, we only got to add one more cache to [...]

Hazards in Geocaching

Shirley | December 20, 2008

Some days when we’re out there caching we feel very conspicuous.  Of course that’s mostly true when we’re searching for roadside hides or one of those pesky little nanos or micros hidden within a city or town.  Since we really like the hiking we prefer caches out in state parks or on conservation land….something that [...]

No Caching For Us Today

Shirley | December 14, 2008

No caching for us today.  Larry spent half the day helping Jeff clean up his yard after the ice storm we had Thursday night.  This afternoon we decided to take a ride to Holden which reportedly had some serious storm damage.  Holden’s elevation is just a little higher than other parts of Worcester county and [...]

Ticks & Mosquitoes

admin | December 13, 2008

I know we should be tolerant of other creatures and Larry and I are both certainly that but I think God may have been having an off day when he created ticks.  We just haven’t figured out their purpose.  With a little research we found out that the Helmeted Guinea Fowl actually eats these things.  [...]

Traveling with bugs?

admin | December 11, 2008

No, that’s not what ‘travel bug’ means no matter what it sounds like.  We love these trackables.  The first one we found was in Chelmsford at the Burial Ground Waterfall (GC41FC) cache back in January 2007, just the fourth cache we’d ever found.  It was a ‘Unite for Diabetes’ bug which means it was put [...]
