Get a hiking pole/walking stick. You don't have to spend a lot, but it will come in real handy!

We have a team of 3 plus a dog. Usually, my son and I cache together. But this week I've been caching in Texas and the guys haven't done any. We don't do it this way to divide and conquer, it's just that having 3 accounts would be too hard to keep track of. Oh! And Mom and son cache a LOT more than Dad.

We had a good time just a couple of days ago. Went caching with my mom and dad. We decided to do a trail around a local creek. The map made it seem that the trail wound around the creek. It didn't. We picked up 9 caches on this single trail, we were about 5 miles in when we ran into someone on a horse. She told us that there was no way out, except to go back. Okay, I'm no spring chicken, and neither are my parents. Besides, I was really tired because the last half mile I COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING . My mom (think Zsa Zsa Gabor) had fashioned a walking stick, and my dad and I were casting quick glances at the GPSr. We didn't want mom to see us look, because then she'd ask us how far the truck was! We had our geocaching chihuahua with us and a fun time was had by all. EXCEPT... We were 5 miles away from our vehicle and it was 5:15 pm. Nothing left to do but call for help. The only person I could think to call (when I realized where we were which was an equestrian trailhead) was the local fire chief. Sure enough, he showed up to "rescue" us in the Fire Department's Rescue Suburban.... But he forgot the diet cokes! Something is ALWAYS happening with us. Another funny incident occurred in Arkansas. My son was trying to get a cache and it had been raining. He ended up sliding off some logs and taking a mud bath. He still went on to get 2 more caches!

Since you are in Texas, there is the Texas Geocacaching Assn Also a Yahoo group, Dallas Ft Worth Geocaching Thanks, but we're in Little Rock now. My location has been updated but you might have a "cached" address! We're looking for LR organizations.

I know this was 2 1/2 years ago, but is there a local organization? Our team would like to meet fellow geocachers... Tammie Entrio
