  Coming soon to a GZ near you .... This is the first time I considered shelving a geocaching hide idea because of it being too difficult... It had been in planning for a long time, and I was reluctant to announce it because of several reasons. The other day, I found a spot that would have been suitable to hide this one, but it was inside proximity of another hide by around 250 feet so I nixed that site. Honestly, not sure if this one will ever see the light of day as too many proverbial puzzle pieces will have to fall in place for it to happen. Shooting for an late autumn placement or an early spring placement, but really I don't know if or when it will happen. Currently in planning phase. It will be placed once complete and I find a suitable spot and get it approved by a reviewer.

3264 Finds - 2 Hides

I am still relatively new to Geocaching.  I continue to become more experienced, but I still know I have more to learn. I want to use today's blog to pass along a few tips that I have picked up over the past few months. Without further delay: I bought a folding bike.  It folds small enough to fit in my trunk, but is big and versatile enough to actually be useful.  Mine is like a small version of a mountain bike. I make lists before a caching day so that I have the cache data loaded onto my device when I enter areas where there is no Internet signal. I carry two bags.  One bag has tweezers, replacement bags, pens (I bring extras), power bank, and waterproof paper.  Lots of this is for maintaining caches.  The other bag is used to carry liquids and light snacks, more cache rebuilding supplies, additional clothes and other useful things.  I bought a 4' wooden stick.  Probably the best geocaching money that I paid.  Mine has a metal point - and a rubber cap tha

1252 Finds - Some areas to consider hitting

In the last post, I was new to Geocaching.  I have since become more seasoned and experienced.  In this blog, I want to talk about a few of the placed that I liked, and you may consider hitting on your next run.... I will start in the north, and work south. Without further delay: Nashville to Ashland - if power trails are your thing, this one is a good one.  The driving is comparatively forgiving, and the caches are intact for the most part.  Nice easy trail for the most part, with some nice pulls nearby. Manchester TN - most caches I find in this area are well maintained and leave good parking options.  underrated and not enough cachers in this area in my opinion. Dalton GA - Haig Mill Lake Park - Newer, well-maintained, fun trail.  lots of interesting containers. Dahlonega, GA - Stomping grounds of 12stepkings... Lots of P and G in or near scenic areas Cumming, GA - Gingermerican ... If you pulled any of his, you know.. High quality, interesting and challenging
