Cachin' has been slow for me lately. It seems my kids have decided they aren't into caching as much as I am. I think I'll just load up the gps and hit 1 or 2 on my way home from work every day. I've been working overtime and with school 2 nights a week I haven't been able to do that yet.
We did buy an ammo can from the local army surplus store yesterday. I want to get some cammo paint so I can make it look as cool as Hick's. We also bought some swag to put in it. We got some mini motorcycles, some erasers and stuff like that. I an also going to put some Geocaching license kits with the laminating pouches in there. I'll probably put some code wheels in there too. Buttons, is another idea runnin through my head, but I need to shop for an affordable button maker. I have a great idea for the FTF prize but need to iron some things out on that. I'll give more information later.
On another note there is a team in my area named Slowpokes. This couple logged 5 FTF's
in one day! Now that must be some sort of record. If it isn't I bet I could put my twist on it to make it a record. They found: A Prize is Hidden in Black Partridge Park, A Quiet Spot in Eureka, A Quiet Spot Near Secor, A Quiet Place in Roanoke, and A Quiet Spot in ElPaso. Now that is some cachin'! Congrats to Slowpokes. At least someone gets to go out and get some cachin' done

Geocaching Lull

Just trick them. Tell them you're going to Toys R Us and then just go caching. Or you could always go "visit" Grandma. And take off!!
There was a group up here that published 14 new caches in one day - in a nearby park. They all were along the same hiking trail. I think several people got the FTFs, so I don't know what the record is.
Here's what you do, hide a bunch a caches under one of the boy's screen name. Then publish them one at a time. You will get all the FTFs. It is all about the numbers isn't it?
To get the boys back in it,take them to the dollar store and let them pick out their own swag. Put that stuff in the new cache that you are hiding, then start hunting larger caches. You can get the micros on the way home, but kids don't like hunting micros.
GooD luck.
I can't help now that I've gotten the geocaching bug to look at things in a different way. I'm always saying "Wow, that looks like a great place for a cache etc." I actually don't know if I'll do one anytime soon, but it seems fun.
That being said, in regard to the other parts... around here is sometimes hard to hit a couple on the way home as we're in a mainly rural area. A bit more work at times, but a lot of fun! :)
