Geocaching

Today I found a couple of geocaches and enjoyed the chance to experience some Spring weather. The second geocache I found had a really neat twist that I enjoyed solving. It was a two stage geocache with the coordinates for the second stage located at the first set of coordinates. The coordinates were hidden in a test tube that was located behind a grey plastic electrical conduit in a tunnel that runs underneath a road. The conduit was located eight feet off the ground. The tunnel is used by pedestrian to avoid having to cross six lanes of traffic. The task of locating the coordinates was made more challenging as the tunnel is 300 yards long and GPS signals can't penetrate below the ground so you have to think like the person who hide it to locate the coordinates.

I'm really hoping to get out on my mountain bike over the next couple of weeks as it should help in locating some geocaches that were placed in the woods over the winter. On another note, fiscal is final over. Hooray! Yahoo!
