My First time of Geocaching

Okay, what is Geocaching...alot of people been asking me...in order not to explain n explain again. So i will cut it short. Geocaching is an adventure game for gps users. idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache.

What are the rules in Geocaching?
Geocaching is a relatively new phenomenon. Therefore, the rules are very simple:
1. Take something from the cache
2. Leave something in the cache
3. Write about it in the logbook

Well, after reading this explaination...time for me to tell you guys on my experience. Basically, i started on sat but due to time consuming and meeting a friend of mine for dinner so didnt took up much search and also too many people looking at me.

So today really plan for it and get my equipment with me and swear die die must find it. Got the corrdinates from the net. Started to plan my route to get the. Wake up early in the morning as today will on leave till 26th Oct. So started at 6.15am and took a bus to east coast. It was abit dark as the sun have not rise up., so i conducted my search. Located the lat and long and saw the big tall tree. Quickly look around to see anyone looking at me coz must becareful not to let mugglers to spoil the cache. I reach the site around 6.35am so using my pen-light and wear my white glove and started searching...LOL it was a tough job sia looking up, looking down still cannot find...intend to stop...but my heart tells me not to stop...search round n round the tree. Finally, found it at 7.05am...and walah...get some picture with Mr Oscar and wats inside the cache.

Wats inside the cache? (a logbook, a glue, wipper, keychain, collarpin, a badge n a electronic thingy)

Sunrise at the coast.

Hint: Somewhere near this site but not that tree. Pasta anyone?

Okay after signing the logbook, time for me to hid back the cache at the original place and proceed on to the next cache site. So started strolling down to marine cove whereby the cache is hidden somewhere there. Dunno early in the morning there are alot of people hanging around doing execrise like running, jogging, cycling and taji...LOL

Anyway, reach the site around 8am. Started to find the cache...Urgh it is a tough one coz i battling with mosquitoes and red ants xia. Really going to dropout liao soon. Just as i look up and saw it...green green plastic type...Yes! My second finding of the day. Quickly retrieve it and find a place to sign the log book and take some pictures of it...

Mr Oscar found his second cache
