Geocaching, geocoins and the many roads of life.
This is made up of stories from my caching and my reviewing. It is a collection of those along with comments and thoughts. Photos, and maps of some adventures and lists of some of the oldest caches.
This makes one year in my reviewing life as BlueRajah. It has been great and a fantastic roller coaster of fun. Hopefully I make it many more. The people that I have met are fantastic. I do not think many people realize how great we actually have it here.
There is something for everyone, and what great fun it is. Mountains and desert, mountain lakes to warm reservoirs. The people are fantastic, and the pizza is good as well.
I am the village idiot that has a few names. I go by Firennice and by Bluerajah.
The whole idea of geoaching was fascinating to me. I had heard of it for a few years before I actually started. I went out with a bonus check from work and decided to buy a GPS. Well like so many others I began to wonder what I could do with it ... more than just carry with me while I was hiking.
So thanks to some papers in with my Magellen Triton 200 I headed off to the geocaching.com website. Well off I went on the 4th of May in 2008 to find my first cache. It was GC17484 Generic Cache by Jac0b. Little did I know that taking the red pill (My Matrix) would change my life. Like Alice going down the rabbit hole an entire new world opened up to me.
The cache that amazed me more than any was when I went hunting for friend GC12Y1Z Moose It was there. Tucked away in a place that I never thought, tiny. Smaller then I ever even consdered. It was truly the eye opening moment.
After rambling a bit, and trying this a few other times. My blogs for knitting, and colored glass fell through. So I guessed I would try and do a new one. Mostly about geocaching. I have had a great time, and I really will ramble on. Feel free to mock me and post your ideas and comments.
So we will see what happens.
Changes. There are changes coming, and I am exited. Hopefully everyone will like them. Thanks for the words of encouragement from everyone. I was thinking how long I have been doing this now. I am shocked at all the work that goes into it. Its like saying that scouts will only be an hour a week.
The anniversary of Groundspeak is on its way. We are ready for the next 10 years. I don't think anyone that does not speak geek would understand all the work that Groundspeak is putting into beefing up its system. Where other companies are downsizing, we are growing in leaps and bounds, and trying to stay ahead of everything.
Well as many of you have seen, many people asking has resulted in pocket queries going to 1000. It was just in time. Utah was quickly reaching the point where you could not do it. Now 17 will cover the state instead of 34.
This year will see a lot of little tidbits, so keep watch and be prepared. There seems to be a bunch of things in the pipeline. Some will not excite people, and others will. If you are heading to Geowoodstock in Seattle on the 3rd there is a special party on Sunday that Groundspeak will be throwing on the 4th. So be ready for some fun if you are heading up.
