We are Trackable!

We have taken the plunge and become trackable, well actually we have a trackable travel bug on the Transporter but it is driven around by us.

It has been active a few days and now we are keen to get noticed, no joy so far but fingers crossed we will be spotted soon.  

The aim of our trackable is simple, we travel around in the van caching and camping so let's see who spots it.  I do find this side of things facinating, we are always happy to help a geocoin or travel bug along to a goal whenever we can.  Recently we were so keen to help we took a lighthouse coin to one of the most famous lighthouses in the world, Portland Bill.  

Now we just await a first to find I think and until then we will just keep on trucking!!

Building

The weather has prompted some planning this week.  A brightening outlook means we are getting desperate to get out more and cache!

Planning a cache can be important, where will we be going, are there any caches close by?

We love a bit of planning and I am currently absorbed with the idea of finding a cache on every trip out.  Shopping in town, can I cache? Get the car fixed, can I cache? Visit someone in hospital, only worth while is there is a travel bug to be had close by!

The other side of planning is the multi or clue cache that may need some prior research before we set out.  When we started this new hobby we would just head off in the general directions and look about, with directions and geomutts of course.  Now we have a kit that can be ready to go at a moments notice!

So planning is the name of the game for now, we have several mysteries solved from the comfort of home and are just itching to get out there!

Oh and mustn't forget it is almost the ideal weather for my new geoshorts!

Happy caching
