Big is Beautiful!

Ye of little faith or creativity....

I've been hearing a lot of bemoaning lately on podcasts or within the forum of the 'micro' trend. "All people do is hide micros and film canisters!".  They whine because people no longer hide larges with excuses like "you can't hide larges in a city" or "there's no room because there are so many caches out there".

And with that... I chuckle.  Above is a map of all the larges within the Metro Detroit area (it doesn't get any more urban than that!).  Within a 10 mile radius of my house are over 2,300 caches (packed, I tell you!)! And look how many larges there are!  

IT CAN BE DONE! Just ask my Sweetie.  Although he's not the hider of all, a great many of these were hidden by TaGeez.  That man has talent.

Happy International Earthcache Day from scrapcat and TaGeez!

Flooding in Sumter National Forest

Worrying.

Just spotted on the Sumter National Forest page word of the historic flooding and closures down there. Really hits you when you are familiar with an area. In May, Steve and I were there in South Carolina for the Modoc Stash GCG4.

I'm sure the river looks considerably different now, the terrain more treacherous, and who know what damage the forest has incurred. Relief knowing the cache was hidden up a hill, though. #December2000

US 23 Discovery Trail

The Straits Area Geocachers (SAG) have been busy! They've hidden caches along the beautiful and historic Lake Huron on U.S. 23!

The first 150 cachers to find 25 of the 32+ geocaches earn a special McGulpin Lighthouse path tag. Download your passport and get outdoors!

New Cemetery Cache

Seen at a cache (GC64KVE) today...

Spooky FTF Swag

Fun surprise Sunday night! An FTF on a late night pajama run and an FTF prize for Halloween! Hider's first cache - call me biased, but I think they're off to a good start.

I took this photo last week while hiding a geocache and Google "enhanced it". Pretty cool, eh? Looks like a lovely watercolor postcard. Cemetery postcards were popular collectibles at the turn of the 19th century.
