We just got back from another fun trip to the coast. While we were there we tried geocaching for the first time. Matthew's family kindly agreed to try it, though I think they were a bit skeptical at first. Peter drove us over to Galiano on the motorboat (this picture is from the beach that was our starting point) and Matthew walked to where he could get a cell phone signal. We discovered a cache just 0.5 mi from us, so went off treasure hunting. The closer we got, the more exciting it got. It gives you that little kid thrill. Anyway, after some searching, we actually found the cache, dating at least as far back as 2003. We left something behind and went on our way, to create our own cache elsewhere on the island. This is a really addicitive little hobby, however I am beginning to think that remote locations are a better bet. Matthew and I tried to go out yesterday afternoon on our bikes to do some urban geocaching, but despite going after three separate caches, we came home empty-handed. I think that urban caches get muggled a lot more frequently because people accidentally happen upon them and don't know what they are. Attention geocachers: Please stop attempting tree caches in the city parks. They get stolen. Anyway, if we manage to find urban caches, I will update...
