Yesterday was a BIG day for Maggie. She got her license back! 10 long months of no driving came to an end. Even the guy at the DOL was happy for me. We got my new (to me) 1997 Toyota Camry added to our insurance, and I was ready! Got home, swapped out the studded [...]

Chance Encounter (GCY0YW)
Posted in geocaching, tagged found, geocaching, puzzle on May 5, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Chance Encounter is a puzzle cache with coordinates very close to where I work. I’ve cleaned up all the traditionals around my work so I have moved onto puzzles. I’m not naturally good with puzzles, never been my thing. But I have to say, I have started to enjoy the challenge of them each time [...]
Double Bubble Toil & Trouble (GC24H25)
Posted in geocaching, tagged found, geobeering, geocaching on May 4, 2010 | 6 Comments »
So this one has been haunting me for a while now. I’ve passed through this alley after work several times before, but just got so overwhelmed by the possibilities of hiding locations for a blinker. A lot of logs comment on the gross factor, it wasn’t that for me. Just see for yourself! In fact, [...]
Dwarf Cache (GCTCE9)

I solved this puzzle cache last week but when I went to look for the cache, it was gone! I circled and circled GZ for nearly an hour before retreating and logging a DNF. But knew I’d be back soon! Today was the day. I felt like getting out and away from the office for [...]
Chance Encounter (GCY0YW)

Last night I solved this puzzle which got me the coordinates to waypoint #1 for this mystery/puzzle cache, Chance Encounter: On my walk along the waterfront to work this morning, I was able to make the find! There was no log to sign inside, which threw me for a minute. But there was a clue [...]
FTF Geocacher

I’m such a nerd that I’ve already subscribed to FTF Geocacher! I received the 2nd issue (first print for me) today. It’s a great magazine. I read the first one online, really like the content and stories so went on to buy an $8 trial subscription (they’re just getting the magazine up and running). Sounds [...]
SudsyMaggie, the Geocacher

Well kids, Maggie has found a latest and greatest hobby – geocaching! And oh wow it has quickly become an obsession. I logged my first find on October 24th, 2009 but starting ramping up again in March 2010. As of now I’ve got 54 finds and 1 hide under my belt. Huzzah! You can check [...]
M&M (GC1Z8YG)
Posted in geocaching, tagged geocaching on April 24, 2010 | 1 Comment »
M&M was the 3rd cache I found in the Shinglemill Creek nature preserve/watershed today. I almost left this one to find another day but couldn’t resist as I had somehow passed it on my way in so I was very curious about where it was as I was hiking back out.
Populus Favorites (GC1Z8XW)
Posted in geocaching, tagged geocaching on April 24, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
My second find while tromping around Shinglemill Creek was Populus Favories. I passed it one without really checking my coordinates so I backtracked a wee bit. Hint was good (near base of tree under moss) but when you start looking for a small cache at the base of a tree covered in moss, you end [...]
Under the Bridge (GC1Z8Y9)
Posted in geocaching, tagged geocaching on April 24, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
After a short walk into the woods, the trail quickly becomes steep. It follows the Shinglemill Creek canyon down to the bottom, where I found this guy Under the Bridge: Nettle Creek was flowing, birds were chirping, rainclouds were flirting…but so peaceful and beautiful. And for once – a trail I’ve never been on Vashon [...]
