Inasuitcase Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I'll try to keep this as short as possible. I'm a flight attendant who enjoys geocaching on her layovers. I've introduced the sport to many of my fellow co-workers. These co-workers include two women named Jean and Caroline. Jean loved geocaching but Caroline, not so much. Anyway, Jean and I are attending Caroline's wedding this weekend. The only rule was "No Geocaching!" Well, Jean and I want to pay Caroline back so we would like to hide a cache in her yard. The cache will include her present, along with a few "surprise" goodies! We will give her a card at her wedding telling her the coordinates. We'd, also, like to include a poem of sorts... Something funny to tie it all together. Of course, we will need to get Caroline a GPS unit of her own and seek out her house, not to mention a good spot for a hide. I thought, perhaps, fellow geocachers would be willing to help in our endeavor. Neither Jean or I have ever hidden a geocache of our own so we're not exactly sure how to go about writing up the hunt info. Also, we're still scratching our heads trying to put together the "perfect" poem. Any ideas, insight, or wording would be most helpful! Thank you in advance, Monica (aka Campfire Girl) Quote Link to comment

+DiscGolfer Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 (edited) Here is my poem for consideration: You have to search to find the gift of love Like the love that now unites you it had to be searched to be found Through the years and encounters true love now abounds Life is an adventure and a new journey awaits you But not before we send you on a search that will elate you We have something that will fit in the palm of your hand and with the marvel of technology send you across the land A GPS unit will guide you on this search for our gift to you and may your heart continue to guide you just as true Edited September 1, 2005 by DiscGolfer Quote Link to comment
+tabulator32 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 (edited) We know you said no geocaching on your wedding day. You know we don't always listen to everything you say. Now, you can go without caching but. somewhere on this lot is a special wedding cache which you can log...or not. We KNOW you want to find it so, here's your GPS. We know you want to be FTF but don't mess up your dress! Now get out there and log this one. I'm sure it will be fun. Here's to you and your new hubby and the many years to come.

ju66l3r Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 am i geocaching? by ju66l3r once lost ...alone the dark wood surrounds bugs annoyances, another one flies by an arrow pointing the way left right forward right the hunt is on clues abound finding the truth! joy! stories to be remembered! trades are made stories to be written! young ones will follow in our footsteps wisdom will come with age the stories will never leave us even until the end Author's note: The process of discovery is universal. Whether we seek out geocaches or love or knowledge, the same truths hold steadily onward through time. It is a game of hide-and-seek, something we learn from a young age as a simple game of tag but it appeals to all ages because of our nature. I hope some inkling of that comes through in this hastily created (and probably a few days late) poem. Quote Link to comment
