Spring has Sprung!

Happy April, geocachers!!

It's time to thaw out from our lonnnnng winter hibernation & start geocaching once again! Yep, it's finally here...Spring has officially sprung!

The temps here in Milwaukee have been rather decent the past few days, so there is little-to-no snow left on the ground, but still lots of mushy muddy ground to stomp on which can make for some messy caching avdventures.

Yesterday, the boyfriend & I took our dog (Bella) on a 2 mile walk on a nearby walking trail and did 4 new geocaches. A couple nights prior to that, we did a last minute nighttime geocache on the same trail (the 1st one as you enter in the trail). While it was muddy to say the least, it was still not that bad to get to by foot.

There's still a couple more along the same trail we need to find before moving on further south on the walking trail, so those will be on our to-do list this Spring.

Here's a satellite map of what we did recently (the smiley faces are "found" caches we found).

While geocaching is all about the hunt, I was rather disappointed that the caches contained nothing but a log to write down your geocaching nickname. (We skipped that since we had Bella with us, just wanted to keep walking.) I had our geocaching backpack with us in hopes that we could trade some swag (see whats in our our geocaching backpack here). But nope, nothing but logs to write your name down.

With Chris & I working different days, it's hard to have a day off to do some caching together, but I'll keep blogging about our geo adventures as they happen! :)

Spring is here, so dust off your caching gear & get out there!!!
