Time to cache?

[+Woodduckdawg]

I always knew Fall would be a slow time for me to go caching, but do you ever feel discouraged because it seems like you do not have time to go geocaching? I think about it often, but it seems like I need to plan a day for searching vs. the few park and grabs I can get on the way home.

I make time to cache. I use to have al sorts of time during the day to cache. But since my work schedule went to a normal 8 to 4 mon to fri work week i don't get many opportunists. Especially since my wife works night and most of the day Saturday. So i now get up early Saturday mornings to get a couple of caches before i have to be home in time to let my wife go to work. Its not very often i can get my kids to come out caching with me.

 

Any worth while hobby requires you to make time for it.

I often fit caches with other things. Visiting relatives? I check for cache in the neightborhood. Coaching a soccer game? There are often caches in the park near the field. Going fishing? I check for caches on the lake. Going to the dentist? I look for caches on the way. Taking a hike? I always download the caches for the area I'm hiking.

I'm using up some vacation days and taking every Friday off in September and October to go geocaching. The weather is great this time of year.

I have a 120 mile round commute each day. I try a different route each day or a cache a day to keep the doctor away. It works.

I cleared out all the caches on my route to and from work, around the house, and places I normally go months ago (there aren't that many). So pretty much anytime I decide to do some caching it's a planned affair, at least half a day required. Since I usually go with my daughter, that means weekends. Since I'm a shiftworker and only off every other weekend, that limits the opportunities even further.

 

So yeah, I really have to make an effort to find the time.
