A lot has happened in my life, and many have been good and some bad. I live somewhere different now, and have many new friends that bring lots of new and exciting spice into my life. Two of these new friends are a bit younger than me, and recently I have introduced them into the world of Geocaching. They have never heard anything about it, and I was more than happy to talk about it, and pave the way for their first cache.
The first one that we decided to do was the "Rosemont Lewis cache", and as we started to go adventuring into the wilderness looking for hidden treasure I could see the joy and excitement that this new activity was bringing for them. We found that cache in about 15 min after we started to look for it and the guys were elated that they found it. We perused through the contents of the cache, and left our mark on the log.

After we nabbed the first cache the guys wanted to keep going and we decided to go to the next closes cache. It happened to be "Rain, Rain Went Away", and it was a very well hidden cache. We did not take to long to get to it, or to find the cache, but we had a lot of fun doing so.

After this we decided to take a small break with some ice cream from a nearby Dairy Queen, and one of the guys curiously asked how far the nearest cache was. And it so happens to be across the street from where we were. The name of the cache was "Picaune Coppice" and it was in a area that had a high amount of sings of vagrancy. We searched for the cache for almost an hour and a half and we did not find it. However, we did find three fallen trees whose wood was in great condition and strength and we cut up into pieces to create hiking poles out of.
Wood that soon will be turned into hiking poles.
