Adventures of a Geocacher

What happens in old town stays in old town.

I tried to find this cache earlier in the week but there were to many teenage muggles around.  I went back yesterday morning when Manassas old town was pretty empty except for some city workers.

I use my the geocaching app on my iPhone to navigate to caches.  Sometimes it is right on and other times it is a little “off”.  One thing I need to remember is I need to go with my gut.  It usually leads me in the right direction.

When geocaching, one also needs to notice what looks out of place or “unnatural.”  Putting yourself in the shoes of the one who hid the cache is also helpful.  Where would you hide the cache in this area?

It isn’t about just finding the cache.  It is about the journey.  Taking time to enjoy the environment around me.  Reading the signs that tell about the history of the area.  Slowing down to enjoy the journey helps me slow down to enjoy my life.
