Did any one other than myself think, for a few seconds, that Gill Grissom retired from CSI to go geocaching? Him in the jungle with a GPS in hand in the last scene of last weeks CSI.
I was on the jeep website and noticed a link to geocaching. I had never heard the term before and clicked the link to see what it was. That was almost 4 years and 600 caches ago.
Around here you don't have to worry too much about covering your tracks. No body else is out in the woods. It's a good excuse to do a little light off roading the jeep on the state forest roads. One thing that I have found to work good for finding ammo cans under snow is a heavy duty telescopic magnet. It locks on pretty good when you make contact with the can. I was out last night for my first cache of the winter in the snow.
I had ome of these types of caches. You can use a scrap piece of sign vinyl on the back. Completely impervious to the elements and can be got cheap at most sign shops.
