Reasons to geocache



Bill and I went on a quick geocaching outing yesterday afternoon.

The weather was much better than we experienced Sunday when we drove the Grouse Creek Road.

Fog was rising off the creek and the sun was headed toward its evening residence.

Both phenomena created lovely artistic scenes as we visited two sites where geocaches had been planted.

We have been geocaching for more than five years now, and our enthusiasm for the sport continues to remain at a high level.

I was suggesting to Bill and Willie this morning that leaders of the world and all the people who spend too much time hating other people should become geocachers.

The sport offers a wonderful opportunity to get to know the Earth and to connect with nature.

More importantly, the camaraderie among those who partake in the sport offers a refreshing escape from all the griping, moaning, groaning, finger pointing, etc. that monopolize too much of our daily lives.

Virtually every geocaching outing inspires a good feeling within the soul and abundant memories to savor.

I agree, if the world cached, it would be a better place, well if they enjoyed it like we do. I love finding the new places it takes us to. It was great when we first moved, because we found many 'hidden' parks and getaways that we would not have otherwise found. Thank you for introducing us to geocaching!
