Strange Small World

We geocache - www.geocaching.com for everthing you want to know.

We found it accidentally. At O'Neill Regional Park where we volunteer. A stack of pages and a green decon container... the container was found by Rangers - way off trail. They asked if we knew about "this geocaching thing" - nope - found out and contacted the owner of the container and three other caches in the same area - all requiring bushwhacking which - is not allowed in the park...

We have now over 700 finds and I recently became a Girl Scout Leader. Had to take training. Second night of the meeting we are to write activities our girls might enjoy under pre-written titles on large sheets of paper. I write GEOCACHING - the one dad in the class comes in and ask "who wrote geocaching"? I did! - He says they know about it, they do it, but haven't been in a while - doesn't exactly remember his caching name... I know a cacher with HIS real first name - the one on his name tag. So I ask his last name - !!! It matches the name of the cacher I know! I say - YOU are "oc_bobwhite !!!" YOU are the reason WE cache!!!

I find out he just needs to get equipment fixed - replaced - I was beginning to think we'd caused him to stop caching - because of the Rangers at the Park...

life is funny.
