We hosted our first GeoCaching Event

We hosted our first Geocaching event on St. Patrick's Day.  We had a great turn-out and wonderful weather.  We posted 16 new caches that day to be found by our guests and find they did.  We were out hunting for some ourselves when we came to a few men who were cache hunting. 

As this was one of ours and it was confirmed missing, we replaced the cache and the guys got to sign it. A few of the Log notes read:

Cacher 1: This must be missing. I wish the cache owners were around!!

Us:After the event, we went to do Dad's caches and happened upon ............hmmm who are these folks? (see photo please) These fine gentlemen were cache hunting when we drove up while on our way to another cache location. Confirmed the container was indeed missing. It was replaced - even before Paul sent the note, he just wanted to use his IPhone App- group effort. Thanks gentlemen, cache replaced and hat that was left at the Event was returned. Wahooo that's a good day.

Cacher 1: Say what you want, it's hard to beat road side assistance when you say a cache needs maintenace. Service with a smile! Nice to see you after your awesome event today. Thanks for another smiley and another reason to smile :)

At another Cache we found:

Log note:

Here we discovered some animal bones (ahh B. was in her glory -Forensic Anthropology and Archaeology are where she's bound). 

We have met 'Cachers' from Moncton, St. John, Fredericton, Nova Scotia, Riverview, Dieppe and St. Martins, Quispamsis, Hampton, Newfoundland and others.  Addtionally, my Dad, Brother and at least 1 Uncle all 'play'. There are 3 generations of Cachers in our family and many other families do it too.    What a sport!
