We did a lot locally, and worked in some day trips, and also did some geocaching on a vacation out of state. It's a lot harder when you don't know the roads! We haven't been in a while, because we have moved on to other hobbies, but it is fun. We saw more "out of the way" places with geocaching. Places we had no idea we were there, markers to historical sites, cool places tucked away off side roads, etc. It was fun, and as you said, great for the photographer. I was about to warn you about snakes, but I see at the end you are well informed. I loved geocaching in the winter here, but come spring, when the snakes come out, I was always ready to stop. And the mosquitoes are killer here in the summer, not sure about there in OK.<BR/><BR/>Have fun!! Be sure to sign up at the website and log all your caches!Stacy at Exceedingly Mundanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10193142015462051142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-76144513936021794992009-02-17T20:12:00.000-06:002009-02-17T20:12:00.000-06:00I've always fancied taking this up but with working shifts and my voluntary work with the RNLI I never seem to find the time. At least if I did I wouldn't have to worry about rattle snakes....Urghhh I'd be terrified even if I saw one at 100 paces. Great pictures as normal.Thank you for sharing your world with us.mannanannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-17533483128350960202009-02-17T19:39:00.000-06:002009-02-17T19:39:00.000-06:00I love the pics you took and the whole idea.

So I missed half of this exiting story. The word cache is in my dictionary, which is an up -to- date one, but it says it's a hidden thing. Geocaching is not in my dictionary, however.Reader Wilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06384603525251159272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-4584631308626511522009-02-17T13:42:00.000-06:002009-02-17T13:42:00.000-06:00I've heard about geocaching just a few days ago and thought it was pretty cool, and your pictures are proof of how fun this hobby can be! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing the gorgeous photographs :)nadiahttp://thepurplejournal.wordpress.com/2009/02/16/a-yemeni-special-al-mandi/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-51376484709722037402009-02-17T13:19:00.000-06:002009-02-17T13:19:00.000-06:00That sounds like fun and you definitely got some great photographs from the adventure.

It is my obsession. We have been to a lot of places we would not have otherwise. The furthest west in Oklahoma I've been geocaching is Roman Nose Sate Park but I would like to take a swing out toward Woodward and down to Lake Foss later this Spring.<BR/>I have seen lots and lots of snakes doing this. The main hazard though is ticks and ant bites.Yogi♪♪♪http://www.blogger.com/profile/00411274031147372579noreply@blogger.com
