Bandon Dunes Hike – two days in a row!

Posted on March 8, 2012 by mdavidson

Two days straight hiking the dunes next to the Bandon Dunes Golf Resort……

After geo-coffee and geo-breakfast, four intrepid souls struck out for the Lunch Spot Cache – James, Darren, Butch and myself. This should have been an advertisement for Maxpedition packs! All four of us had them!

James * Darren * Mike

The very next day……….another foursome gathered to pick up the remaining three caches on the horse trails at Bullards Beach.

Darren * Beckie * Butch

Water was encountered. Some kept their shoes on......some did not!

Butch, Beckie and Darren went on into Bandon afterwards for a nice seafood lunch – however, I had to meet the Mrs. at lunch. Two additional caches found today……

Cut Creek Loop Cache
Three Mares Trail Cache

Group Dune Hike

The call went out on facebook……

Emily: Going out in the dunes tomorrow. Anyone want to join?…….

Several answered the challenge and resulted in a group of seven trekking for miles in the North Spit dunes.

Yes, I had already hiked and found nearly every cache out there but I love hiking and these people are fun to hike and cache with.

Leap Day Geocaching Events

Posted on February 29, 2012 by mdavidson

Leap Day is special in it’s own right, but for geocachers it marks a day many of them have been anticipating for quite some time. Finding a cache on this day will enable them to complete a very popular geocaching challenge.

Typically referred to as the Days of the Year Challenge, it requires the geocacher to find a cache on every single day of the calendar (all in one specific year is NOT required). So unless they found a cache on either of the previous two Leap Day’s since geocaching began, they could complete the challenge with a find today.

To help commemorate this achievement, two events were planned:

Leapin Lizards! – on our normal geo-coffee gathering at Kaffe 101 and…..

STs of Norway’s 2-29 Days of the Year Finale – a fun dinner at the Venture Inn.
