Hey John, my husband and I live in Hanford and he is an officer out the base in Lemoore. We really enjoy caching and my husband is really getting into placing caches. I have to admit... he has had a few creative ones =) There is one he has done that he has yet to place, it's clever! Unfortunately, they are all micros.
We started caching in his home state of Oklahoma and there were NEVER micros there, they were always full sized finds and beautiful undisturbed hikes. It was disappointing to come back revved up to go and find NO normal sized, in good shape, with decent swag, containers. I do find that coming up with a place for a larger container that wont get bothered would be difficult. I have gotten really into finding RWC's though! Even though they are micros, some of them had me searching =)
We would love to go to a caching event. I have been talking to my husband about it. I just wish there was one semi-close. Paso Robles would be a great get away and a little wine tasting to follow could never hurt!
E-mail us if interested in getting together for some caching!
