I know this is going to be a weird analogy but it ties in somewhere along the story. I enjoy playing an online game that has a looking for group feature. I know there are some sites that do this but it is usually for a more specific area like Edmonton or Calgary. It would be nice to be able to do something similar in Edson which is a smaller community. Any tips or hints out there? Maybe there might be a person or few from Edson who will spot this and maybe try to drop me a line about wanting to do a group geocaching session. Anyway, just a thought. Great day!!! Take care!!!

I was just hoping to get more of a broad area instead of just the Calgary area or just the Edmonton area. I live in Edson which is two hours west of Edmonton and I suppose that could fall under the Edmonton area but I thought if people from smaller communities outside the larger areas wanted to contribute, they could.

I just wanted to start a new post for Alberta geocachers or people travelling through Alberta who stop to geocache. I figured it would be nice to share stores with people who live in the same province as me. I am hoping that people will share their stories, tips, favorite caches and the likes. I first heard of geocaching about 4 or 5 years ago from a coworker but didn't really get started until about 2 years ago and am addicted. I have my Dad addicted too, he certainly goes to a lot of work to get cache hunts lined up. My favorite cache so far is Mr. Burl. Hope to see some postings soon. Great day!! Take care!!

I was introduced to geocaching by a co-worker a few years ago. He had told me about it but I didn't actually start going out until about a year and a half ago. I was the first in my family to get a gps unit and find a cache and now I have my Dad hooked on it. We just can't get enough of it and my Dad and I usually head out together as a team to find new ones or to revisit/introduce to each other ones we have found on our own.

I'd have to say that my favorite geocache so far is one called "Mr. Burl". It's located in Alberta Canada and the reason I like it is because someone dressed up a burl in a tree to look like a face. It's a really neat looking character. You should be able to find it on the geocaching site but I don't remember if there are pictures. Extremely creative. Even the cache itself was neat.

I first heard about geocaching from a co-worker a few years back but didn't really start until about a year and a half ago. I totally agree that the first find is a thrill and I was immediately hooked. I always look forward to going out and finding the next cache. I have done quite a few with my Dad and have introduced the sport to a few new people now. I think it's also a great way to see new areas that you never knew were there or things you never thought would be there. I have a lot of great scenery pictures of places where we have found caches.
