First saw geocaching in July. Was trying to think of things to do that would get me and the family out and about during the winter last week so I took a look online. Was excited to find that there were three caches just down the road from my house and over 800 within 30 miles.

We’ve gone out a couple times now and racked up four finds (two in near Antigo and two near Wausau) and as many “didn’t find.” We also learned that if a cache isn’t tagged as “accessible in winter” then it might be one we should pass on in January.

We’ve always loved the outdoors and could use the exercise so we’ve really committed to being very active. Plus finding hidden treasures is serious excitement for an eight year old. We’ve even already signed up for the 2013 Great Cache Ba$h in West Bend.

Hope to see some of you on the trails and in West Bend.
