A Caching First

While out caching on Sunday we had our first "run in" with the law. A very nice (albeit stoic) NYS Trooper approached me about my "suspicious activity" at an abandoned rest stop on I490. Turns out that this rest stop is often frequented by *ahem* single men and he wanted to find out what I was doing out behind a tree.

We had a little chat about Geocaching, showed him our GPSr and promised to let the cache's owner know that relocating it might be a good idea. Yes sir.

What has Sean and I baffled is that law enforcement personnel aren't always familiar with Geocaching after nearly 7 yrs as a sport . Wouldn't you think that someone would've sent a memo out on this by now?!

A special Christmas-time cache

Last weekend we went out caching (nothing new) and found a truly cool cache: Christmas Tree Cache 3. There's something magical about finding a Christmas tree in the woods complete with decorations!

So, Happy Holidays from our family to yours. We hope you have a magical holiday, wherever you find it.
