still caching!

GC21GWM [CCS5: A tale of two cedars] -- coords were off. cache contained a pill bottle under a rock between two cedar trees on an access road to cable bay trail system. no trade, just log. most boring place we've been yet; this is actually worse than the gully near the grocery store; at least that had a creek. after seeing this, we scratched the other 9 caches placed by the same person in that greater area off our list to check out. we're learning how to tell cache quality without actually going there. *wry grin*. that scrapped the entire boat harbour area, and we decided to go down cedar road to roberts memorial park instead.

TC4QB [Yellow Point] -- my first terracache (different site from the caches starting with GC). used my garmin forerunner to set the coords, and it performed admirably even in the dense cover. got me within 2.5m, and i found it pretty quickly. this cache hadn't been visited in more than a year, and it was in excellent shape. took rubber bracelet, let reflective and velcro strips. when i logged it, the owners sent me a message, happy that somebody actually visited their cache. we need more terracachers in BC.

GCFCB5 [Day at the spa] -- here too the forerunner did much better than the HTC dream, which was squirrely all the way. my "geosense" has grown quickly, and i have a pretty good feel now where people hide caches. this one was in the first hole i checked after zeroing in on the general area. the outer bag was ripped by animals -- cache owner was not smart and had put food-smelling spa stuff into the cache. left a st. patrick's day tattoo, took nothing.

TC4IH [The Sunken Garden] -- virtual cache. since i hang out at butchart gardens frequently, and have all the plaques photographed, this one was dead easy for me. i am now the king terracacher in BC, which shows you exactly why we need more people who do this here.

yay for dreamwidth finding a new payment provider less likely to throw a fit over religious trolls.

That is one great picture. How about when spring has sprung on those trees, we get another shot from that same position with the trees all leafed out.

that would be fun; images of the same areas during different seasons.

Oh, I love pictures like that! You can do the whole leaf-spring as far as I'm concerned.
