Sorry for the late Adventure Monday post, but we were busy bringing this foxy little man into the world. Now our adventure team is up to three! Can't wait for that first geocache... leap day perhaps??
As we look to the new year in awe and wonderment, one can't help but reflect on the past year. Most of the time our thoughts linger on the past with things that we should have done, or could have done but never did. For myself, I prefer to look at the things we did accomplish and though it might not have been what we envisioned at the start of the previous year there are still many golden nuggets that we can glean. In January, Tatterhood and I celebrated our 13th anniversary with a trip to Las Vegas. We took TNT_Lando along and he had a blast seeing a big city. Naturally, we found a few geocaches along the way. In February, we took an epic trip to Yuma to attend our first Mega geocaching event. It was an amazing adventure. You can check it out here . Needless to say we had a pretty good time despite everyone being sick. March saw us exploring a few new places such as Park Discovery in St. George and the city of Beaver in our new secondary geo-beast, Topaz. Later...
February has been an exciting month for us. To date we have managed to maintain our ‘days never cached’ find challenge and starting January 29th we began our new cache streak attempt to break 15 days in a row. In the midst of all of this, we have planned a trip to Death Valley which could prove to make or break our goals for the year. On February 9th, we began our journey south first to Las Vegas where we planned to meet up with Tatterhood’s parents, Joe Teton and Anyatoo. Both of them are tour guides for Road Scholar and do frequent trips to the nearby national parks. It being winter, their focus has been on Death Valley. To ensure we found our cache for the day, we stopped off at an off ramp not far from home. I scrambled up a good sized hill and discovered a cache near a memorial for a CAT operator. Seemed like an odd place for a monument but just proved once again how Geocaching helps bring notice to things you never knew existed. The rest of the trip to Las Vegas was fairl...
A few weeks ago, Torran decided to enter in on a contest featured on one of his favorite geocaching podcasts, the GeoSnippits Reboot Podcast. The podcast features the husband and wife team of Amy ‘HeadHardHatress’ and Andy ‘HeadHardHat’. Their shows usually feature tips, trick and basics of geocaching. Every week they have a contest for some neat geocaching prizes provided to them by awesome caching stores; such as GXProxy, and Coin and Pins.com. In Episode 180 of the GeoSnippits Reboot podcast Amy and Andy announced that Torran was the winner for the week. Shortly after, a package full of all sort of goodies arrived at our door. The package included a whistle, carabiner clip, pathtag holder and a trackable trek tag provided by GXProxy. Also, included in the package was an official GeoSnippets trackable patch. This patch is pretty awesome. Not only can you turn whatever you attach it to into a trackable, but it glows in the dark. If you get a chance, check out the winning ep...
