“The app has been submitted to the App Store, will cost US$9.99, and will initially allow iPhone owners to find caches near them, look up trackable items like travel bugs, save cache information for use when outside of phone network range, and limit results to save bandwidth.”

GeoCaching mega post.

So, instead of posting each single find, I’m going to start doing a weekly post as we are totally addicted to GeoCaching and are doing multiple caches on some days.

Sept 16th:

Quick and easy cache, however, I almost grabbed a bees nest instead of the cache.

I’m at a meeting in Burlington, and somebody asks me about Geocaching.  I tried to explain it the best I could without sounding like a total nerd.  By the end of the conversation, the room was split thinking it was neat or totally nerdy.  I decided that when I was to leave the office, I would show them what geocaching was about via video stream (didn’t really help me shake the nerdy rep)

Great hide, one of my favorites.  Cache was actually inside a bolt on the pole of the Stop Sign.

A quick Geocache on the way home from school. We’ve driven right past this location everyday for the past 2 years.  Great hiding spot. Photos

In the cache, we found our first GeoCoin.  The coin is from Ingersoll ON and we plan on taking it to BC in October.
