Busy Summer - Update

ok - So it has been a really busy but great summer. I have not been updating the blog here for some time but I hope to get back to it! Here are some geo-highlights from the summer…

  • We had our first “muggle” experience - that’s right - someone snagged on of our caches. We were able to replace the container with a slightly smaller one and moved it a couple of feet away.
  • We had to archive one of our caches as the tree it was hidden in was chopped down - right to the ground - gonzo! We were able to retrieve the cache as it was just tossed down the bank of a hill. We are still trying to decide what to do there.
  • We took our annual trip up to the family cottage and made a trek out to a fabulous cache very near our cottage. We attempted this cache last year but got messed up with some technology issues :) Everything went fine this year though! I will try to post some pictures here later as it was a beautiful spot on a quiet lake - awesome!
  • My wife surprised me with a trip to Prince Edward Island (PEI) - Canada’s smallest province. We went there right after the cottage and enjoyed some great time away from the kids. We were able to do a good number of caches on the island which brought us to some amazing places and some amazing views!

Well I hope to get into some more details about our adventures - but for now that’s the update!

Traveling with a GPS

It was time for our family to get away — time for a road trip! We often go on shorter trips to the cottage or to family that is a few hours away — but this was our first “big” road trip that would take more than one day on the road.

March break was coming up and the desire to get away was very strong. Plans to visit some old friends that moved to Montreal fell through and we were left scrambling for a place to go. My brother Dave and his family ware traveling down to Hilton Head SC and Savannah GA and invited us to join them. We jumped at the chance — both to spend time with them and to get away to a warmer climate!
