I have only just now started geocaching, although I have known about it for some time. I just learned about Waymarking as a recreation, ( I way mark on my GPS all the time).
I submitted three sites, and already had one approved. I am pending on another, and will post a third when I get back there for a photo.
In my youth I visited a lot of places not often traveled. I tried to visit every place described by John Muir in his journals, while traveling in the Sierra Nevada. For instance I spent the night on top of Banner Peak above 1,000 Islands Lake. I had better gear than he did, but it was very cold. There were so many stars, I couldn't pick out many familiar constellations. I will never get back there again, so I don't have a photo to submit with the waymark.
There is an overlook on HWy 299 that looks down on the now abandoned mine of my old friend (now deceased) Gus Gustafsen. He sat at the trail head of the New river. A very isolated spot indeed. The Forest Circus in their infinite wisdom took down the Indiana Jones-type bridge that once spanned the Trinity River, and the cable car that replaced it. So, no one can get in there anymore.
Too bad we weren't doing this 30 years ago.
Well I stil visit some choice places that I will share with people.
