Yay, we are caching again. This is just a short report that we found three multis today and all three were FTFs!!! Yay! Bonnie and Clyde are on the hunt again…
Bridge Over The James
While on our way to Smith Mountain Lake to spend the day with family there, we made a quick stop at Buchanan to find a cache hidden out in the middle of a swinging bridge over the James River. The stop could not have been better timed as little Abi was growing a bit restless [...]

Caching During Phone Call
Wanting to have some time for just the two of us, Lee and I set out to visit Harrisonburg with a picnic basket in tow. Before having the picnic, however, I took the chance to quickly find “Lit Up” off a parking lot at James Madison University while she handled a couple of calls by [...]
New Caches!!! … Why Didn’t We Know????
Ok … I feel kind of sheepish that I have had a few new caches pop up in my own backyard and never even knew it! I found out a few days ago that my settings at Geocaching.com that advise me of new cache placements disappeared or reset. What does that mean? … It means [...]

Whereas I have already located most of the hidden caches here in Staunton, Harrisonburg remains rich and untouched with many hides yet [...]

Pathfinder) —————————– You have no idea how excited I was to have several hours to go out and search for geocaches after a couple of months with no opportunities! “Here’s a Bridge #1″ provides half the coordinates for a puzzle cache of [...]
Birth of a Starbase Geocache
One of the problems I have been having lately is that I lack the time to go out and search for geocaches. This is further complicated because there haven’t been any new caches here in this area for a bit of time and most of those here I have already located. Although I could always [...]
