Exploring Life

Geocaching, geocoins and the many roads of life.

This is made up of stories from my caching and my reviewing.  It is a collection of those along with comments and thoughts.  Photos, and maps of some adventures and lists of some of the oldest caches.

GSAK battles

Sometimes I have a battle going on. I love GSAK it is so powerful and such a useful product.  Yet sometimes I feel like the village idiot that has been handed an tank.  Somewhere there is a button that I can use to move it, fire.  And yet I am completely stumped with it sometimes.

Today's battle is trying to get the mail download to work.  After months of using it. Now it is stuck. It hates me.  It hates me with the fire of a blazing sun.  Somewhere in its insides is a way to cram materials inside it. I could use a funnel and cram it in, but I have a feeling that doing that would be ineffective, and fry an expensive computer.  That leave me with downloading them and getting them to run the old fashioned way.

Curse you and bless you GSAK.

In the beginning...

I am the village idiot that has a few names.  I go by Firennice and by Bluerajah.

The whole idea of geoaching was fascinating to me.  I had heard of it for a few years before I actually started.  I went out with a bonus check from work and decided to buy a GPS.  Well like so many others I began to wonder what I could do with it ... more than just carry with me while I was hiking.

So thanks to some papers in with my Magellen Triton 200 I headed off to the geocaching.com website.  Well off I went on the 4th of May in 2008  to find my first cache.  It was GC17484 Generic Cache by Jac0b.  Little did I know that taking the red pill (My Matrix) would change my life.  Like Alice going down the rabbit hole an entire new world opened up to me.

The cache that amazed me more than any was when I went hunting for friend  GC12Y1Z Moose  It was there.  Tucked away in a place that I never thought, tiny.  Smaller then I ever even consdered.  It was truly the eye opening moment.
