8503 - Coming Walkabout

[scottobear]

Geocaching plans for this weekend or coming weekday off - At Sugar Sand Park in Boca .

	Cache Name
	NW 2.9mi	Diamond in the Rough
	NW 2.7mi	HANSARELLI'S IT'S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD CACHE!
	NW 3.1mi	Picnic in the Ruff
	NW 3mi	Sandy Paws
	NW 2.8mi	Team Chenoko's Scavenger hunt

Should be fun! I'm guessing about an hour per cache. If I find a travelbug, I'll take it with me on my journey north.

i don't quite get the bug thing, but that park looks amazing! i wanna go!

You're welcome to join me, but it's fairly north of you, in boca. (the coodinates, 3 miles nw is in respect to my house)

The bug thing is a set of "dog tags" you can attach to an item that will travel from cache to cache - (or person to person) in the real world and you can follow its progress online.

Each Travel Bug has its own unique tracking number stamped on it. This tracking number is used as proof by the user that they found the item. It also doubles as a way for the user to locate the personal web page for the travel bug.

Travel Bugs are tracked with the help of users who go online and "grab" them from caches, or receive them from users. The idea is by picking up and dropping off Travel Bugs on the web site you are mirroring the Bug's real world adventures. Each Travel Bug has its own "diary" that follows its movements.

here's the travel bug I want to pick up, take his picture at a pub, and bring north when I go on my journey - Farrel the Fiddler

He's been to NY and parts of Florida already.

i think i understand a little better now :). it's kind of like a really involved treasure hunt kind of thing...

when are you going to head up? i'm off thursday and friday, but you work those days right? could i trirail it, or is it not far enough east?

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

yup, it's like treasure hunting. the travel bugs just get moved from one 'treasure chest' to another, around the world.

I'm off Monday and Tuesday, but there's always the weekend.

From the tri-rail station, you can make 2 transfers (about an hour an a half trip)

:) thanks. i think i'd rather have company though. maybe i'll just tool around the house thursday and friday and get some research done for the coffee house.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I think I'll probably zip down there on Saturday after the housecleaning, barring any other weirdness, rain or pain.

research on the coffee house sounds like a good plan!

[mental-circles.livejournal.com]

will you still be able to make dinner if you hit the park saturday?

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I would think so! get to the park by noon-1, horse around until 4, head back home, shower, and bus it southerly.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

looking like I'm not going to get to go saturday, geo-wise. I have some other errands to tend to. Possibly sunday, if the satrs are right.

[mental-circles.livejournal.com]

well, let me know, and maybe i'll head out and meet you there.

[rosin-dubh.livejournal.com]

Yay for Geocaching! We haven't been out in a while - trying our best to not be frivolous with the gas consumption. I think we've got some new ones around the area too. *sigh*

Oh well. Happy hunting!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I'm taking the bus to the park, and then hoofin' it! :D

Good luck on your next search!

[keethrax.livejournal.com]

We're also trying to avoid the heat and the ticks at the moment.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

that's a pretty sond set of reasons, too!

I'm hoping for plenty of water and shade!

[ilenebook.livejournal.com]

Staying home this summer...grrrr.
Wishing I could head out with no worries.
LOVE that icon Scotto.
Hugs for Newtie.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

thank you! hugs for you, and Ed, and the critters, too!

They look like fun fun caches! I wonder if there are any wine themed caches up here for the wine stopper travel bug.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

any vinyards or cork trees nearby?

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Not that I know of---my dad has planted some grape vines at the cottage---I need to do a little homework and look!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

*more* homework?? :D

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

This homework I don't mind. I got *more* of the other today at my meeting and am *doing* it now.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

d'oh!

well, good, snuggly thoughts for you. I'm going to head to the yoga mat. :D

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

YAAAAAAAAAY! Yoga! Bendy man wooo
