What is Geocaching? Please refer back to my blog "What is GeoCaching" or visit http://www.geocaching.com/ to further help you appreciate this 'sport'. My family (brother and dad) as well as myself, Black Rose, her boyfriend and friend all geocache. We have experienced many things, many places and many containers. Geocaching has taken us to locations (such as in Newfoundland) that maybe we wouldn't have known about or gotten to see. Because one can't disclose the location of these geocaching sites, I can't tell you exactly where they are, but I will tell you about this one as a point of interest GeoCache location. Arrow Air Flight 1285-On Thursday, December 12, 1985, the chartered DC-8 plane carrying 248 members of the 101st Airborne Division of Fort Campbell, Kentucky and 8 crew members returning home for Christmas from peace keeping duties in the Middle East, crashed during takeoff in Gander, Newfoundland. There is a beautiful memorial site and one which we visited while in Newfoundland in July. Very humbling this location is.
Many of you have been reading my blog for a long time now and have known of our experience with Wilsons Disease. We recently placed a GEO'cache' in honor of Patty - below is the description as well as the hint on where to find this 35mm film cannister that GeoCachers use to log their 'find'. We have recently placed a puzzle cache (or first) using her stone and the information from within to get the cordinates for another cache location.
"Sunflowers are always in bloom"
A cache by NB Hidden : 10/04/2011 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: Size: (Micro)
Description:
Remember when you used to run barefoot through the grass? Or jumped into a pile of leaves in the fall? Or enjoyed Sunflowers as the birds came by for seeds? Sunflowers are always in bloom is placed in memory of Patty. Patty loved Sunflowers! Patty, like this area, was a yet to be discovered 'gem'. She was attending University to become a Teacher when she became unable to continue with her education as a result of Wilson’s Disease. She would have loved this area – children can run and play, adults can sit and watch or walk the various short paths while still being able to see them. Or maybe head down by the river and look for minnows as we did when we were kids. Bring a picnic and stay a spell. Please bring a writing stick.
