Girls Rock!

Yesterday I went Geocaching with two women geofriends. We met while geocaching and because this got in our blood we are friends because of it. Perry went a few weeks ago with the guys, and yesterday was the girls turn. We went to the shores of Lake Michigan. In geocaching, the hides are given a rating of 1 to 5 on terrain and 1-5 on difficulty of hide. 1 being the easiest and 5 the hardest. When Perry went, the group he was with found 70 caches. That is a most excellent day. Need I mention that they found mostly ratings of 1-3. Pffft, anyone can do that! :o)
Us woman (we met up with another girl cacher who lives in that area) found 27 caches. Another fine days work. However....we were doing mostly terrains of 5 and difficulty of hides at 4 and 5.
We climbed down muddy hills, waded through tall, wet grasses, dug through insect infected areas, and even had to handle blood and guts filled fish hooks. We are tough.
Our best and most fun caches of the day were when we climbed over the rocky shore of Lake Michigan looking for 4 caches. We had to shrink ourselves to fit in to slivers of openings to go search out the caches. If you are not fond of tiny enclosed places, then this is not the place to be.


Because only one can fit at a time, we all took turns going in. Yes the cache was found by the first one in, but we wanted brag say that we were able to beat the terrain and capture the cache.

It was dry down there even though we were right on the lake. It was neat hearing the crashing echo of the waves hitting the shore.
We had such a great time. Since we started geocaching, I have been to places I never would have even thought to go to. Or in, for that matter.
I was wiped out last night and after a nice hot shower, I dropped dead. I am sore today from all the climbing. But I'd do it again today if it wasn't raining and lightening out.
Oh wait...yes I would. I cached in weather like that last week.
Yup...it's in my blood.
