i did two in galveston! it was fun, but kind of anticlimactic they were too easy!!!


I tried to do one here, but I stepped in a huge ant pile and had to give it up.

(it occurred to me that not all of you live where ants bite, so may I say it was dark, ants were biting me and I had to get to my car to see to get them off and then drive home to treat the bites.)

Janie, if you found it too easy go up to the higher level difficulties. The ones that say "quick park and grab" are often really easy and a good way to get your stats up. If you want a real challenge, go for ones w/ a difficulty rating of 3 or more.

uh oh.. sam.. i may have to reconsider...

 

[sammy39]

lol...ooohh...sounds nasty! Yeh...u can get some really, really easy ones...try to do ones with more stars next time...obviously, the more stars, the harder it is...

 

[sammy39]

lol...dont worry Amy...dont think we will get many ant piles here!
Yeh, ive done ones with 5 stars for both terrain and difficulty...also done one up Ben Nevis which is the highest mountain in Britain..

 

[Zorak]

Oh my god. This is the coolest thing I have ever wanted to try.

 

[JanieDough]

uh oh.. sam.. i may have to reconsider...

no no - tash is right.


the first one I found was fun - it was kind of a rush to find it because you go to a parking lot or something and you don't think anything is there, and then boom you find it

and I did a harder one last night- it was fun!

[sammy39]

Lol...yeh, ive seen some pretty nifty ones...get an account going, amy so u can log the ones we find..

 

[Natasha]

This is one of the trickiest ones we found...it was shoved inside a hollowed out pine cone.

 

[sammy39]

@Natasha...OMG...thats sooo cool!!!!! Ive seen one like that before...its so neat! Google 'the worlds hardest geocaches' and look at the results...some pretty awesome ones there!

 

[JanieDough]

that is cool - some one told me they thought geocaches were hid in fake rocks.

it would pretty hard to do that here where there really aren't any rocks

 

[sammy39]

yeh, ive come across alot of those...fake rocks u can buy and some people have even taken a real rock and drilled a hole in it to put a container in the bottom of it to make it look even more geniune...its pretty cool!
