The Original Stash Plaque – Found on May 21, 2018Welcome to Caching with Craig! The goal of this blog is to entertain the masses and provide information regarding the world of geocaching.
I am in no way an expert in geocaching, but it is a hobby that I enjoy and , on occasion, obsess over. My start in geocaching occurred in 2010. I got an eTrex GPS for Christmas and after reading an article on geocaching, I started my pursuit of finding random containers in the desert. I found two caches near my house and then took over 450 days off before my next find.
My second attempt at geocaching was a result of a camping trip with my wife’s cousins and their kids. A weekend of finding caches with them put me back on track to finding caches more regularly and started my enjoyment of geocaching.
Since that camping trip, I have found almost 4000 more caches, learned about different cache types, attended events and CITOs, hidden almost 100 caches, and planned family trips around geocaching. Geocaching has become a hobby that provides me with a purpose when I go bike riding, hiking, or even taking the dog for a walk. If I am taking the dog for a “long” walk, I can guarantee that I am either finding a cache, hiding a container, or plotting a future cache hide location.
I want to share my experiences (good and bad) and be an additional source for geocachers to learn more about a hobby that I enjoy. In my mind, I know what journey I want to take with this blog and I am looking forward to taking my readers on an adventure through the world of geocaching.
