addicted!

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 the area on the internet site, so we went to this state park in the Manchester/Hooksett area of NH. It probably has about 50 caches…..with some 15 or 20 of them right along a long road at the edge of the forest. We wanted to scope out the area to see if we would hike or bike when we come back (definitely hike). So…..no GPS, no computer printouts, just a little geo-sense and a rough map of the area w/ icons at the approximate cache sites. As we were driving we saw many ‘a good place for a hide’ along this road. Finally, Larry couldn’t contain himself any longer and had to check out a few of these ‘likely spots’……wouldn’t you know he found a cache!! Nothing special in it but we signed the log, then had to go home and try to figure out just which cache it was so we could get credit for the find!
I really think if one must be addicted to something this is a fun way to go!

The fact that it was raining did make the find a little harder……..maybe it is a hobby out of control!!
