On Time Weekly Post- 5/10

Whew, I'm on time this week. The week didn't start out too great. Monkey See Monkey Do 1 was published over by Cheney Stadium in Tacoma. We went out to try to find it, but couldn't in the fading daylight. So the next day, are frienemies, the FugeFinders, got the FTF on it. Grrrrr! Later, one was published on my dad's way to work. We figured that nobody would have found it by the time he would head to work the next day, since there was a "not 24/7" attribute. Unfortunately, someone found it anyway, so our bad fortune continued. On Friday, we finally found a multi that had been giving us trouble, Captain Wapato's Treasure Hunt (GCHWPC). We are only one step away from finishing the requirements for the Know Your Local Cacher Challenge. On Saturday, we got up early to go find a cache that you can find only by taking the Light Rail through downtown Tacoma. In addition to it being a great tour, we got the FTF. We were sure Tom from FugeFinders would be down there searching already. We later on went back up to Tacoma to find more caches downtown. In three hours, we found two caches (is that even possible?!). A cache was published in Bonney Lake later that night, so we raced out, only to be beat to the cache by GPSWonderer. The good part though... we beat Tom! Yesssss!!! Next came Mother's Day. We got an FTF on one of ImLuckiest's new caches to kick start the day. It was a nice walk in a new park in Bonney Lake. Later we went on to find several caches in Flaming Geyser State Park, and that pretty much ends it for this week. Stay posted for next week. Remember... next Monday is the one year anniversary of us starting geocaching, so we'll start posting pictures and individual find posts on the blog. Stay tuned, and see ya'll next week!

Sigh, Another Belated Post- 5/4

Well, here's another belated post of mine. There are a couple of issues that should be addressed, but I'll get to that at the end of the post. Onto our caching adventures of the week. Last Wednesday morning, I had time before school to find a couple caches, because of the late start. Lo and behold, the reviewers publish a couple before school, but I wouldn't have time to go get them and get back in time for school. If only they had published an hour earlier. Now, here's the part that gets me. Our FTF competitioneers/caching buddies, the FugeFinders, got the FTF on BOTH of the caches. Grrrr, grumble grumble. Then on Saturday we went to see the shorebirds in Grays Harbor, and picked up some caches along the way. Since we are working on the Washington County Challenge, we went out of our way to pick one up in Mason County, then hit several in Grays Harbor County http://www.geocaching.com/bookmarks/view.aspx?guid=fc7b2939-2234-4209-be19-f49e4fbab837. On Sunday, we attended the infamous FugeFinders 10 Years! event in Sumner. We met a lot of cachers that we had been longing to meet, and caught up with other caching friends. The Fuges placed two caches prior to the event and gave the crowd the coordinates during the event. As soon as we got the coords for both caches, we headed out. We got the FTF on one of them with fozroc, GPSWonderer, and theDarknyght. Well, that's it for the geocaching adventures of the week. Now onto other business.

First of all, I noticed that a couple others have found out about my blog... cool. Maybe I'll add some more widgets to play with. Second, we are coming up on our 1 year anniversary of becoming geocachers. On May 17 (the anniversary), I will start adding pictures to blog posts. Who knows, maybe I'll even have posts for individual caches we find and add individual pictures there. We'll see what happens. Until next week...
