Geocaching - GC2440E - The Quarry
At first I was going to keep a separate blog for my geocaching activities. Then I decided that's what tags were for :)
For those of you unfamiliar with Geocaching, here is a little blerb from their site:
GEOCACHING is a high-tech treasure hunting game
played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea
is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences
online. Anyone can use coordinates found on Geocaching.com to locate geocaches.
Cache GC2440E was my first officially logged cache. I tried finding it several times, and finally found it on Nov. 18th 2010. I actually found another cache before this last summer, but that cache no longer exists.
The GPS coordinates lead you right next to a rock filled island with two trees and a light pole in it, in the parking lot of the Quarry shopping center. After searching every tiny branch of each tree and every small nook and cranny in the area, I finally realized the one spot I hadn't looked. Under the plastic shroud that covers the spot where the light pole gets bolted into it's concrete base. And there it was.
