Got Ammo?
a
From the moment I placed my first hide, I have used Lock & Lock containers, but a problem has arrisen in that it is presently harder to find the multitude of sizes I once could.
Ammo cans have always been something I wanted to try but I never had a local supplier … until now.
Today, I [...]
Ships of the Cache: When Trek Meets Geocaching
What does it say that I have carried my love of Star Trek and science fiction into the adventures I have through the sport of Geocaching?
Something that might have helped is that I was first introduced to the sport by two dear friends from Germany … Kevin and Steffi who I met through the interactive [...]
Discovering GeoTrails
Earlier this morning, I stumbled across the “Allegheny GeoTrail” which is primarily concentrated in Pennsylvania.
The concept of a GeoTrail struck me as very interesting.
From their website:
What is a GeoTrail? … A geocaching trail is simply a series of geocaches tied together by a common theme. There is not necessarily an itinerary, as we would think [...]
A-Team Adventure

Writing the logs afterwards took nearly as long as the session itself. Even when I began to write notes on my paper notebook, it still didn’t help other [...]
Crazy Caches … Mean & Devious
I first found out about a company called “Crazy Caches” when I was looking for a thoughtful yet inexpensive gift for a co-worker who had done something nice for me and was into geocaching.
He had always said that he wanted to hide a cache that was hard to locate for those trying to find it [...]
A Little Effort Goes A Long Way
Carrying the “Star Trek Squirrel” with us on vacation was more than a blast — it was an experience with many rewards.
Quite simply, its goal is “To Boldly Go Where No Squirrel Has Gone Before!”
To this end, we made sure to take at least a couple of photos of the little guy, adding visual [...]
