Ginny,
I work for a company called RMT. We to landfill design, Remediation work and Design Build of Windfarms and Solar farms. Our company has built the largest Windfarm in the united states to be designed and built in 1 year with 322 turbine that puts out 450 Mega WATTS of power. That was in Indiana. We have a project that is being built in Hawaii right now. I work in the CADD department. Our department also Does QCQA work. I primarily do relief/fill in when the someone needs a weekend off or takes some R&R I go down and fill in. So I am hoping I get slated to fill in on this project. :-)

Oh Ginny, once you get into caching it is like that potato chip commercial you can do just one. You will find yourself thinking about your next little trip and wondering is there a cache near by there I can go and get. One of the other things is called the Delorme Challenge I think most of the States have one up. Basicly it is a Challenge cache that has you find one cache that falls on every page of the Delorme Gazzetter for your state. Then there are Series Caches where you are challenged to go out and find all the caches assigend to that series write down codes to find a final cache. Little things like that. Also The challeng and goal I have set is to get at least one cache in every State. Right now anytime I am sent out to projects out of state now I always do a search for caches in the area of the project. I am hopeing to get a chance to go out to the project we have going out in Kahuku Hawaii.

Wow Ginny. Really sorry your hubby has to go through that. Having to layoff people you work with and a lot of time have come to be like family is never easy. I hope things go well and he can cope with it and not get to depressed.
Some people do make their own SWAG. This one young couple make these personalized coins/tags that they put in caches at trade items. I personally bought a bunch of Lanyards and some small heavy duty Ziploc bags I put a business geocacheing card I made up in with the lanyard and leave as my signature item.

Todays 130 mile Scoot Cache journey managed to net me 18 of 19 caches today. Weather was in the upper 80s today. Got a bit of a sunburn today I really should have put on some sun screen. Probably drank 2 gallons of water. Left the house about 11:30 this am. Got home about 8:30 tonight.

Andrew you did better than we did today. We found 5 all together today and had about 10 DNF today. Was not a good day on the caching part but was a Great Day on the scooting part. We put on 167+ miles today it was great. We left at about 9:30 am got back about 8:45 pm. I will try and upload my GPS track later I have not even logged my caches yet.

This is what I have loaded up in my GPS for tomorrows trip of ScootCaching. that big blank circle area that is clear around my home area is because I have found all of them within a 25ish mile area around my house.  This is our Main Target area.  There is one in particular that we are going after and that is this one. We did not find it last year on one of our scoot trips so we are hoping second time is a charm. www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=883613c6-8414-49ab-9f86-61b215689052 |

You are welcome just let us know when you find it. I know you are going to get hooked on this hobby. I have been ever since the first one my son and I found together.

Ginny, After looking at the logs it leads me to believe that you will be looking for a very unique type of cache that is hidden by use of camoflage. So as I said leave NO STONE unturned Litterally. Check every branch also I have found some where there is a loose branch stuck in a hole in the tree it looks like it belongs but comes right out and walla there is the cache in the end of the branch. it could be as small as this. but I dont think so.  It could look like one I made here.   Feel free to look through my geocaching photos might give you some other ideas of what to look for also. www.pbase.com/damin69/geocaching |

Ok Well it says it is a Micro so it will be small. from the aerial view and location in the corner of the parking lot there I would say in the trees look in every crack and crevis of the trees. Look at the base of the trees for possibly a FAKE Rock. Check all the limbs might be in the tree hanging. If t here are any holes at the base of the tree look inside of them. It is only a 2 diffuculty so should not be to hard to find it is just a matter of know where to look and what to look for. Look for anything that might be just a bit out of place and pick it up. Even if it LOOKS like trash you might be suprised.
You are right that bad boy is RIGHT in your back yard. I do not have any that close to my house. Closest one to me is like 1.3 miles away.
