Geocaching Saved Lives!

A story coming out of Portland Oregon features two men who lost there way during a white out while climbing Mount Hood. The climbers were not able to get down from the mountain after a storm hit. They decided to make a snow shelter and stay there for the night. While digging the snow shelter they discovered a Geocache - this Geocache had their exact location. This allowed them to tell rescuers exactly where they were!

The value of a good laugh

There are many things that could make a Geocache memorable to me. It might be a very creative or interesting location. It could be a difficult find that challenges your finding skills. Sometimes it is the level of stealth required in order to make the find and not look too out of place. In a recent cache it was the container that made it memorable - in fact - out right funny! I can’t divulge the actual part that made us laugh out loud - you will have to go find it yourself. I can tell you however that we will remember this cache adventure for some time. Thanks for a great laugh DRMOO!

DRMOO is a couples team that are very active cachers in our area. They have hidden some great caches that are most often very creative. When we met - Mrs. DRMOO confided with me that it was her with the ideas and Mr. DRMOO (an enginer by trade) who helps bring them to life. If you are ever in the Barrie Ontario area be sure to check out some of their great hides!
