[home/hobbies/geocaching] Amazing! Now that I don’t have a GPS unit anymore, this is especially interesting: anyone can use navigation software now without a GPS unit! All you need is a WiFi card. Amazing. ~Jason

[home/hobbies/geocaching] Seth was in a grumpy mood this morning, so I helped him focus on something else by promising him a Geocache adventure. So after his morning nap (and our Star Trek marathon), Joanne and I packed up the kids and headed out. We parked at the Battlefield Park in Stony Creek, then walked in basically a straight line (even through some back yards— whups!) until we came to the treasure. Seth took a farm truck, and we left a rubber Tony Hawk figure along with a “Smokey the Bear Travel Bug.” Going home was better than the trip in. We chose instead to follow the Bruce Trail. What a beautiful day! We had a perfect time. ~Jason

[home/hobbies/geocaching] I wasn’t thinking clearly last night, when, at 11:00 p.m. I asked Lucas to wake me at 6:00. I said we’d go GeoCaching together— which would normally be fine, even at 6. But when Seth started wimpering in his sleep at 3, came into bed with us, and then starting talking at 5, I knew I was in trouble. Then at six I realised the sun doesn’t come up until 7. The boys played computer games while I tried to catch a few more z’s. Eventually the three of us piled into my car to head for the Bock-Bock cache, which we hadn’t found a few days ago. On our way up Mount Albion road, a police road-block signalled to us that we weren’t going to find that cache that day. We finally got a signal lock with the GPS and turned around, heading for Stoney Creek Battlefield Park. But we couldn’t seem to keep a lock. My i.Trek CF GPS is garbage. The last one was wonderful, but this one can never aquire a signal from the satelites. I’m so frustrated. We drove around for a while, then gave up. An hour in the car, with nothing to show for it but two disappointed little boys, and a severely annoyed grown-up. ~Jason
Frustration Abounds

[home/hobbies/geocaching] Tuesday night after piano lessons, Lucas and I took a detour to one of the many Hamilton GeoCache sites. This one was up Mount Albion road, in a high spot where we could see the cars on the Linc. It was getting dark, so we gave up before we found it, but we’ll be back! ~Jason
