Who can wait for spring to go geocaching? Not the furious tick mafia of Jenny and I, that’s for sure~! The only thing missing from this party with the GPS was the WDM po-po and some chatty muggles. So…. that’s how it is now. First stop. Urban park. Complete with muggles of all ages. We [...]
Independence Day Geocaching! A generous dose of sunblock and I hit the streets for some urban caching. A beautiful day so thought I’d tackle an aptly named “Paul Blartt Mallticache”. This one’s a bit upper league for me with a 4 difficulty rating. While closing in to the coordinates I knew right away I was [...]
Was up near Ankeny volunteering with Easter Seals at Crop for Camp on a sunny Sunday when we got a mini break in the afternoon. I had about an hour and a half before we started end of event cleanup. Hum….I’m Craving Chocolate Sauce. Good thing I packed my GPS. The Outback Steakhouse across the [...]
Relatively warm yesterday….well, relatively being 31 degrees, I loaded a few urban caches in my GPS to see if I could find them downtown Des Moines. With urban cache’s I’ve got a chance that they won’t be completely buried in snow. Ok, let’s go! Did a loop around the Library to head back west on [...]
Alright, so that’s not exactly how Shakespeare wrote the verse in Merchants of Venice, but none-the-less n’ere snow nor freezing fog shall reign the cruel maddness that is a winter gone too long without geocaching. Drove out towards Gray’s Lake / DSM Water Works hoping to find a few caches that were not submerged under [...]
Some quick pics from my house in Iowa during the Blizzard of 09. Let’s review. 14.5 inches of snow 40+ mph wind 7 degrees
First day Jen and I have been out caching for awhile, so we def had to get back to this one. The past few weeks the Asian Gardens has had some rennovations done on it and we were hoping the find would be easier this time around. Beautiful oasis in downtown Des Moines, right on [...]
Ok, just because the sun’s shining doesn’t mean it’s a good day for geocaching! Um, yeah, ’bout that! hahahaha! I was determined to get out the first sunny day and find that Beach cache I wrote about last week. Which was just before the 7 inch snow storm hit. Here’s a few pics from the [...]
Ah, yes, it was about 50 degrees the other day, bright, sunny, puffy clouds and I just had to go geocaching. I was looking for some caches in West Des Moines and found a series that was beach themed – oh yeah! Definitely got me in the summer spirit! On of the cache’s had shells [...]
Grant, Jenny’s nephew was in a children’s musical yesterday, titled Horton Hears a Who, and he did such a good job! All the kids did, it was so cute! At the end of the play, adults got to join them on stage for a reprise of the main song and a game of freeze dance. [...]
