My First Geo-caching adventure!

I had no intention today to go geo-caching today but when I went on the library website it showed that there were a couple of GPS units at the library across the street from me and one at the library down near my chiropractor. I made Mr. Wonderful Husband take me to the nearest library since the card is under his name. When I returned home with my latest (rented) toy I immediately read the manual.

I packed my bag with old kinder egg toys that I have tugged away and went to search out my first cache. It was a challenge since it was my first time using the GPS. When I found the cache I nearly cried. I nearly got eaten alive by misquitoes but it was so worth it. I found a travel bug from the US that has to do with Girl Scouts...and a Geo-cache badge that was made for the 119th Girl Guide Company here in town! How cool is that? I found two Girl Guide related things in my first cache?

The next one I found I ran into some fellow cachers and luckily there weren't any muggles (non-geo-caching folk). The inside of the cache was wet and so was the logbook. I put a note on the cache's website to let the owner know.

Tomorrow I am going to go out again and find a new home for the Girl Scout TB and perhaps find some more :).

Off to bed as I have to finish a powerpoint presentation tomorrow before I even think about going out geo-caching. This is my last weekend completely free (which includes Friday)...since I GOT A JOB and I start on Monday!! I am now a document control coordinator.
