Well summer is half over and caching has become even more obsessive in a way that is good. With the use of the Geohonda with Coygar Kid, mountain bikes and hiking as well as drive ups, I am rapidly approching the 10,000 cache find. Some of my great caching friends are Cougar Kid, JuRuu and Bigbluemarble along with many others that I cache with from time to time. Have been able to find between 60 and over 100 caches every weekend for months. During the month of August we can get a souvenir for every day cached, I will be taking on that adventure. During the month I am hosting 6 events in the Ladysmith area.

Summer update

Hello All, time to catch up on the Geocaching news. Over the last few months I have been caching a lot on the weekends with Cougar Kid and JuRuu and many other cachers from time to time. The weather has been great for our Geohondas and mountain bikes as well. I am fast approching my 10,000 cache find. A few days ago it was my 3 year mark of caching and it only gets better. There have been so many new caches being released on the north island and have been spending at least one day every weekend on the roads and trails up there..
I was honoured to be part of  The GO! Team's wedding party and it was a wonderful and great day. They even had a flash mob picture event.
Princess and I are heading to Oregon for 8 days of R&R and some caching. I am looking forward to doing the first cache outside of Portland. Having an event while we are down in Lincoln City. GC4E1CW
As August is a special month with getting a souviner for every day cache is found, I will attempt to get one every day but it will be a challange having to drive a few KM's some days to find a cache.
I will also be having 6 events on the following dates in Ladysmith.
1- GC4GQWZ- Aug. 14th,  2- GC4GQXH- Aug. 16th, 3- GC4GQY8- Aug. 20th,
4- GC4GQYZ-  Aug. 22nd, 5- GC4GQZQ- Aug.  26th, 6- GC4GR0D- Aug. 29th.
Hope to see you all there..
More to come during the trip down the Oregon coast..

Road trip to GCGV0P

We started out quest to find GCGV0P Original Stash Tribute Plaque on Aug. 02 via the ferry to the USA out of Sidney at 1800 hours and arrived at Everett, Wa late that night. I got up fairly early and managed to grab 11 caches near the hotel in the dark and rain to start with. The rain stayed but as the sun rose it got better. Nothing like caching in the dark in the great USA, a little scary.
We set out about 0930 on the 3rd for our  quest and the rain is stating to let up and the I5 is bumper to bumper. We stopped at a few rest stops and managed to grab a few caches at each stop.  
As we left the I5 towards the OSTP there were about 6 caches that we grabbed on the road to OSTP.
We arrived at the OSTP at 1500 hours on Aug. 03, 2013. It was so great to finally reach this cache after three years since I started caching. It appears that 3 is my lucky number today.
Princess! and I took some pictures and will post later. We opened a can of Pepsi and had a toast.
A great day for us!! We then headed back to Portland to our hotel and out to supper. Princess! wanted to get e little night shopping in so off we went to the mall. It is so weird but someone placed 5 caches in the mall parking lot so I just had to grab those!! So my total cache find for the day was 26. Doing those route PQ's sure is great. I am now 153 away from my 10,000 and hope to reach towards the end of the week. We are having our event in Lincoln City on Wednesday.
Well, it is almost 0530 hours and I am going out to grab a few caches as Princess! is sleeping. About 0730 hours we are going to do a short hike on a power trail before heading to the coast at about 1000 hours. I will do another post in a few days. Happy caching!!
