The Tale of Trackables and Travel Bugs
One of the fun elements of geocaching is finding trackables. These objects contain a unique code that can be entered online to track its journey. Some have very general goals (e.g. visit many caches) and some have very specific ones (e.g. travel to a specific location). It's fun to participate in their adventures along the way! Frequently these ( Read more... ) -
The Poodle "Almost" trial
Finally home from Argus from a long weekend with some big missions. We still only manage to qualify half our runs. Another story of "almosts" which is frustrating to try to figure out ( Read more... ) -
Barn Hunt "April Showers" trial in Longview
Tashi spent this last weekend finding rats in the first Barn Hunt trial where we were NOT running any Master's courses since we achieved this level. Now that the "Crazy 8" game is official, I decided to only run those courses instead of the normal ones. Though Tashi commonly places (in fact frequently wins) those classes, the uncertainty of the ( Read more... ) -
Geocache "Location, Location, Location"
Placements of some of the geocaches we've come across have been fun as well. The most common locations are inside guardrails, under lamp post skirts or via magnetic hide-a-keys. On the other hand, some people get pretty creative with their hides!
Can you find the hide in this picture?

Geocache "containers"
Since last summer when Lisa decided to start geocaching on our walks, we have picked up several together and separately as time allows. There is a wide variety of ways to put together a geocache, and although we have yet to actually place one ourselves, we've found some of the "containers" to be quite entertaining ( Read more... ) -

Another high, another low
My wonderful Ratting dog has been "semi-retired" in this field after an amazing time at the first Nationals for this event (he took home the bronze!) so we could concentrate on agility during his younger years. He's really a ton of fun in the ring and whirls around like a madman flashing his tail like a banner daring photographers to try to catch ( Read more... ) -
Moulton Falls (Sept 29)

PAC trial (Ridgefield Sept 23-25)
We're back! Tashi's first trial since injury!
We've spent the last 11 weeks rehabbing through Back on Track with countless exercises to build up muscles, laser treatments and time off for healing.

Multnomah Falls (Sept 22)
So a week ago we decided to visit just the bridge part of Multnomah Falls since neither of us were feeling great. It was a fun, quick jaunt. We intended to find a geocache during the trip and found a terrific one without leaving the parking lot!
