Magic and caching trips!!!

Victoria trip for the 3 of Clubs Convention

Only managed to grab one challenge cache called "Night Games Challenge" while over on the island. You had to have found at least 10 Night Caches. I have found 24 in total. I still remember doing my 1st Night Cache in Courtenay.

YAY FTF!!!

Got an FTF called "1-UP" the other day. When it popped up as a new multi cache, it said it was just under 3KM away, so I got ready fast and headed out the door. As I was heading there, I realized it was further away than what my email said. I kept going anyway and when I got to the benchmark with the info, I worked it out as quick as I could. I put it into my phone app as a waypoint and it said it was 60km away.....whoooa!! I assumed I did something wrong so I looked at it again and realized the puzzle info was possibly wrong. I changed one of the numbers to make more sense, since it said it was just a short distance away. Plugged the new Co-ords into the geochecker, and got a thumbs up!!

After finding it, and realizing we were the First to find, we played with the huge leaves that were all over the trail.
I contacted the CO after me and my little guy made the find to let him know there may be a mistake. He quickly changed it, to make it work. When I got home, I checked my notification list and realized I have not changed the co-ords to my new address. All fixed now.












Vancouver Island Magic show
I am headed to Campbell River this coming weekend, and plan on heading over early so I can grab a few caches along the way. One cache I really want to get is "Royston Wrecks"
I used to live in Courtenay for about 3 years and have done several caches near this location. This "New Virtual" is one of the 4000 that where given to specific hiders, so they could place a Virtual.
Another cache I plan on grabbing is "Steely Dan"

Have passed by him several times when I used to live up that way. This time I plan on saying hi!!! And grabbing the cache!!!

Getting ready for some upcoming trips for shows in December, and I will be doing some caching along the way. Also headed for Alberta at the end of the year during Christmas, and have already planned which caches I will go for. (as long as there is not to much snow)

Well, that's it for this month......

Keep on caching

Night caching

"Night Caching and Chopsticks"

I recently did a night cache with Matt(Close-Up Matt) and Jess(systematicchaos) and Vincent(CivilianSatellite) the other night called Knockturn Alley. It was a cache themed after the Alley in Harry Potter, that he mistakenly ends up in, before going to Diagon Alley. It was a shorter night cache, but ended with a cool cache container. It was listed as a Multi Cache instead of a puzzle which is cool, as I still need a few more multis to complete a challenge cache I am working on. Before the night cache we stopped by another cache that a group effort was needed...not to find, but to retrieve the cache, called "Chopsticks not included"

Magic Convention to Magic Convention

This is a pic of the caches I have mapped out that I wish to get while down in the states for the 2 magic conventions. I will be flying into Los Angeles, California for a few days and then heading toward Las Vegas, Nevada by rental car for another Magic Convention.

Los Angeles to Las Vegas

As you can see by the map, I am trying to get as many Virtual Caches as I can. I have 56 virtual's locked in that I am hoping to get. I will also be close enough to the Border of Arizona, and will pop across at the Hoover Dam and grab a couple of caches to also give me a new state Souvenir. I already have the Nevada and California souvenir's from previous trips down.

World cache progress

So my "World Cache" progress is going pretty good, my teammates from U.S.A., Australia, Germany and the United Kingdom have been out and about getting their respective stages. We should be getting closer to our final cache coordinates soon. Keep tuned in to find out!!

International Geocaching Day
It’s time to start planning for one of the biggest holidays of the year. Saturday, August 20 is International Geocaching Day! It’s the perfect day to get outside, find a few (dozen) geocaches and spend time with your fellow players. I will be back from my trip and will be sure to get a cache on that day as I have in the past few years, as you can see by my Souvenirs, I have gotten them all since they started International Geocaching Day:

4000th cache find!!

So I had not figured out which cache I was gonna go get for my 4000th cache and was sitting at 3999 for 11 days and then on June 22nd a cache called "Riparian Reptile Rendezvous" got published and I decided to head for it as a "first to find." So it became my 4000th find and my 347th FTF!!!
A couple hours later a cache called "The cabin near the woods" got published near the parking lot I had just been to for the other cache, so back there I go and it became my 348th FTF!!! lol

Well that's it for this month

Keep on caching
