Found it! (weekend post: part 2 of 3)

There were several breaks in the State Finals competition that allowed us to do some geocaching around in the Brentwood area. We will always take any opportunity we can get to geocache together as a family!

We found sixteen this weekend (with only one no find, not bad!) and even reached our 1300th find mark! We found ones with magnets, ones with spiders, and even an ammo can! (You don't see those much any more, so we love them when we do see them!) Our favorite one had to be the Horse's Petunia cache. (Can you see the cache? It's there!) The girls thought it was hilarious! We also managed to crash a wedding in the process! Okay, so it was more like we crashed the reception. And, okay, we were sort of invited. There was a couple in the Brentwood area who met through geocaching and they were getting married and decided to make their reception into an Event Cache. There were several cachers there, including ones we had met before. It was neat to meet cachers whose caches we had been finding all day. One couple had a cache that we had a no find on, so I asked her if my assumption was correct on where the cache was located. I was correct, so later we went back and were able to find that one. We really enjoy caching in other towns and getting to see how other cachers hide their caches and what they think the ratings levels should be.

One of the things that we have really been enjoying is being able to cache using our phones! With the internet right in the palm of our hands, we can look up caches and log them right there in the field - on the fly, as I keep saying. Last night when we were driving home we stopped at a rest stop and we said, I wonder if there is a cache here? We looked up our coordinates, found that there was a cache 225 feet from us, found it and logged it. Technology is so cool! Geocaching is awesome!
