GeoCaching!

H E L L O  L O V E L Y ‘ S, Kyle introduced me to an app for IPhone and IPod touch that has been around for quite some time now, which literally is the greatest app! If you love to hike, walk, be outdoors and go on adventures then this is the app for you. Basically it is a real life treasure hunt game where premium users create GeoCaches (treasure chests) around what ever local area you are in!!! Sick right! Using gps style mapping you are sent out to find what ever treasure you want to find! 😀

 One the app is loaded it will want to use your current location to find local Geocaches for you to find! It then gives you a list of 3 different Geocaches that are close to you that you can chose to search for. Each Cache gives you a description on what it is and where it is plus one hint 🙂 It a super exciting app! To see that there are little treasures even in your home town that people have looked for and have been there for some time! Who knows you may have even accidentally come across some and not known what it was or thought it was garbage! hahahaha! >.<

The one down side is that if works off a wifi connection so for those of you who have IPod touches like me, this can prove to make the searching for treasure much more difficult, Having to reply on free wifi you find or what you remember from the map! hahaha!

Kyle and I went on a first GeCache last weekend, we were a bit discouraged to find out we needed wifi but we managed to get lucky and find plenty of random free wifis!

It was tough once we got close to the cache our luck with wifi was running out! So I had to stand in the area that still had one bar left and tell kyle which directions to go in! Around the end I ended up standing right in front of it for a solid 5 mins without even noticing it till i told kyle to come over and help me. He then instantly found and it! True face palm moment for me! hahahaha!

A couple days later we went to visit our old roommate and good friend of ours and we told him about GeoCacheing and showed him how it works and he got so pumped when he saw that there were 3 caches close to where he lived that we decided right on the spot to go out and get them all!

The first one that we all found together was pretty awesome! It was in sucha  clever location! It was in a fallen over tree! Up inside! I didn’t want to be the person that had to stick their hand in to grab it so him and I got Kyle to do it hehehe!

After we found that one our friend was so ecstatic that we had to hurry and find more! 😀 *It seriously is like being a child all over again!*
 

The next one was super close to the one that we all just found! This time our friend was the one to discover it! How exciting! Although I still was the only one who has’nt found one on my own 🙁 moooo

But oh looky here!!!!!!!!!

I FOUND THE NEXT ONE! 😀 AND IT WAS THE SMALLEST ONE TOO!!! ‘( ^=^)’  So clever how they had it in a small pill bottle! 🙂

There was only one more left close in our area! So we decided to go ahead and get it! It sucked because I wasn’t wearing proper foot wear for all this exploration so my feet were soaking wet and frozen cold by this point because of the terrible wet winter weather we have been having lately 🙁 I was done and just wanted to head home and warm up my feet! hahaha 🙂 But We found just one more and decided to cal it a day!

The day that we had planned just for a quick little visit with our friend turned into a full day excursion! hahahah Love it though 🙂 Now we have him hooked on GeoCaching! You all should try it! get the free app and see if you like it! 😀
