Geocaching with Verizon

We discovered geocaching a little over a year ago. We started out with a Geomate.jr, while this device was great for those starting out and for kids, we wanted something more powerful. Something that would allow us to not only see maps, but also see a description of the geocache and comments that were left. With Geocaching sometimes the caches can be hit and miss. If you go out looking for caches and one has been disabled you won’t have {Read More}

Mystery Box Shop Review

I love getting mystery packages. When we were kids we would go to a local store and purchase grab bags for $1 just to see what was inside. So when I was asked if I would be interested in reviewing Mystery Box Shop I jumped on it. It reminded me back when I was a young girl taking my dollar to that local store to get my grab bag. Mystery Box Shop has three different sizes. They have regular, premium, {Read More}

GeoCaching Fun

Back in November of 2011 we discovered Geocaching. We had so much fun using our geomate.jr to run around the different towns in Michigan finding hidden treasure. Although, the geomate.jr shows us the location, size, difficulty, and terrain information it doesn’t show you the information about the geocache, and or the logs of those that have found it. So you either go out clueless like we often did, or you write the information down on paper and hope you have {Read More}

What Would You Do…

If you had ten thousand dollars, and nothing to worry about bill wise? Here is what I would do… I would gas up the car,  get the best geocaching gps I could get, then my family and I would travel the US looking for geocaches. Sound crazy? Unless you have been out geocaching you have no idea what you are missing. You may think we are silly for traveling through the woods trying to find containers, but this is super {Read More}

Geocaching and Getting Lost

So if you follow my blog, you may know my family discovered Geocaching back in November. We got my sister hooked to it, and with all the nice weather we are currently having, my family has been spending a lot of time in the woods. Hiking and of course geocaching. In the past few days I have walked over 8 miles! My feet are killing me right now, and I have a nice blister on my toe. However, what is {Read More}

Geocaching My Way To Thin

We have known about geocaching now for about 12 days. In those 12 days, we have found 40 geocache units, and walked over 7 miles! Yes, 7 miles of walking; that my family normally wouldn’t do, 7 miles of fun site seeing, and 7 miles of family time, away from the electronics. It will not be much longer, and it will start snowing, and it will make it hard for us to find geocaches, so we will have to sit {Read More}
