On August 1st, 2010 a good friend of mine meets me late in the evening for a steaming cup of Joe at one of our favorite haunts. While in line he asks me "Have you ever heard of Geocaching?", and I respond "Yes I have"! I was introduced to this interesting sport a few years back by some friends in Nanaimo on New Years Day. I actually really enjoyed our little outdoor adventure and had thought about it many times in the past, but could never justify the cost of a GPSr. But on this night my friend tells me there is an app for the iPhone that does the job and that it only costs $9.99 CDN. This blew my mind, because I already owned a iPhone and spending $9.99 was not a problem at all. We finished our coffee and headed out to make our very first find just after midnight, and so my Geocaching experience begins on August 2nd.
We headed over to the UVIC area and found "GC26ZY4 - Movies1 SUB by tophertuttle", and we called it a night. But that next day we headed back out and began anew. This is when Just Leafy (my girlfriend) began caching too, but we had not adopted a team name for the two of us yet. And the story continues on in future logs!
