Travel Time

[+Take A Hike!]

Well, thanks to Geocaching, it now takes me twice as long to get somewhere! Mainly talking on the way to camping in the great state of Arizona. Usually travel 3 -4 hours from home. Now it takes me 6 - 8 hours to get there, same thing on the way home. Not complaining! It is what it is! I'm hooked!

On Thursday I drove to Omaha, which is usually about 9 hours. I left at 8:15am EST and got there at 7:30pm CST. Twelve hours and 15 minutes. On the way back, today, I left at 8:30am CST and just got home at about 8:15 EST, twelve hours 45 minutes. All because I started Geocaching 11 months ago. I feel your pain.

My travel time is only slightly greater due to the NSF--Nagging Spouse Factor. "Are you done yet?"

Oh yeah! I call mine "NGS", Non-Geocaching Spouse.

I'm lucky, my whole family gets into it.

Yes... it also takes twice as long to get places on trips for us but we don't feel the "road lag" as much either thanks to the frequent stops on the way. I'd much rather stop for caches than arrive beat to death from driving straight though with no stops.

 

Thanks geocaching for coming into our lives.

I, too, have noticed how trips take longer than they used to. The NSF does help, except when my wife has the sudden urge to drive 500 miles to do a power trail. Go figure.

With us a trip that should take an hour or 2 takes us all day now.

Yep, this is definitely how travelling works for us as well these days...

[+YooperSnowman]

Same here. And then we're always asking, "do you think there's a cache there?" or "look there-that would be a great place for a cache". And I often have dreams about geocaching. Heck...I think I'm forgetting how to do my day job

[+Take A Hike!]

And then, of course there's always one more cache "only .3 mile away". Yeah, we got time for one more. It's so close!

Last summer I left work around 5 PM to hang out with some friends about 2 1/2 hours away (normal driving).

 

I didn't roll in until after 10 PM.

My wife digs on it as much as I do... and as a result of this, more caches are found by my wife than I. Our minds work differently and she's finding them quicker than I. :-) She's told me to bring my GPS when we go out and about to get a few in too. Good times.

I used to travel in time but my tardis broke down.
