Around the Turn: You Know You Love Geocaching When...

The first thing you think of is geocaching whenever you hear “muggle” while watching Harry Potter movies.

courtneefaythe:

  1. You always take a GPS, pen, batteries, trade items/trinkets everywhere you go
  2. You drive past an already discovered cache and say “Found that one!”
  3. You’re planning your vacation, you’re also creating your geocaching route
  4. You say “Ooo, that would be a great spot”
  5. You like finding out that someone you already know loves geocaching too
  6. You will climb any hill, tackle any obstacles, and walk infinite miles to reach a cache
  7. You have found every hidden cache in your town
  8. You know all geocaching terms
  9. You plan to or have found at least one cache in every state

    Reblog and add more to the list!

This. Looks. Awesome.
April 28, Obscura Day: A global celebration of wonder and curiosity, an international celebration of unsual places

Explore something wondrous. Take lots of pictures. Tweet your experiences using the #obscuraday hashtag. See if the places you visit are on foursquare. Facebook. Geotag. Instagram. Live blog. Send postcards.

As an enthusiastic geocacher, this greatly interests me! I wonder if there’s a good location to hold a local Obscura event… hmm… check out some of the places already catalogued on their website!

Good Friday caching

Headed out with a few friends on Friday for an absolutely wonderful day of canoeing down the Grand River for a wherigo cache, and a couple other stops along the way.  Just stopping in to say that I’ll be posting pics very shortly :) What an awesome day it was!

Meet my other tumblr...

I decided recently to start up another tumblr for my general postings, not necessarily caching related. Twitter is great for easy sharing, but I like the permalink and over-140-character quick-blogging capabilities of tumblr. So yep, go check it out, follow if you like.

Now just to just figure out how to modify my primary account so that’s primary and this ironman366 blog is secondary… hmm… Any thoughts?

ETA: Apparently you can’t. Well that’s dumb. Oh well

wow! i only just discovered geocaching your finds are insane! where in the world are you?
asleepinyourcobweb asked

haha, well wherever I am, I guarantee you have have loads of similarly insane finds in your area :) Most of the ones I post though are located in and around southwestern Ontario - lots of prolific geocachers in this area. But creative and challenging caches and hides are everywhere!

I recommend looking for caches with higher favorite points - chances are there’s something neat, cool, fun, or unique about them.

Geocaching is one of the best pastimes ever! Glad you discovered it, and hope you continue to enjoy it :)

QR Challenges?

UPDATE: So it looks like this was an update for this week. BUT, the challenge type is indeed still listed as “coming soon” on the challenge types page. So,we’ll see…

Indeed, there is plenty of drama about the apparent similarity slash ripping off of the Munzee location-based QR scanning smartphone game, both in the Groundspeak forums, and the Munzee forums.

The rivalry continues!

ironman366:

Today’s update?

Geocaching.com will be down at 10am PT (1pm ET), and some have proposed that this may be one of the big updates… hmm…

What do you think?

Official Ontario geocaching license plates!

Geocacher? Live in Ontario Canada? Have a vehicle? Get a custom license plate! (I don’t believe they’re trackable, last I read, but it’s still awesome :)
