Hiding Caches

Oh my! The week started well, and I thought I would live up to my promise to the community and hide a couple of caches. I started off well, hiding two nano's in one day, and have them both published fairly quickly.
  1. Curse of the Nano I: Towers over SZR
  2. Curse of the Nano II: Education Central
Phoenixdxb went for Curse of the Nano II: Education Central the next day at lunch time, as it was close to work, and called me to tell me she couldn't find it. I quickly popped over to the location (since I work about 800 meters from the cache :) ), and was horrified to find that it had already been muggled. My goodness, less than 24 hours.

That really killed my cache hiding spirit... until today!

Today I decided, since it was going to be far less busy, and Phoenixdxb had to work, that I would go and hide another few caches.

Weeee... and so I started the day by hiding a replacement for Curse of the Nano II: Education Central, but this time, I made sure it was going to stay for a while :)

But this was only the beginning. I then drove around for a while, till I saw something interesting, and made a new discovery. A tiny stretch of public beach close to where I work. Wow. And it gets better, there are a couple of dunes that makes for some nice Urban Dune Bashing!! It's just so very out of place! Did the necessary and then there was another one hidden!

After this, I decided to head back to my home ground. I had an idea when I left this morning and wanted to go and explore around my home area to find a good hiding spot. After spending about an hour driving around, making a U-turn and heading back, I finally found a location that looked suitable. I also made a new friend, and I call her Betsy!

It is remarkable how similar the fur color is to the sand, don't you think? Anyway, she was my geocaching muse today, and I decided to find a nice spot to hide my bigger cache, Springstone's Coin Market. This one should be more fun for everyone, as its a geocoin exchange, and fairly accessible - a little stroll is required.

Phew, 4 caches hidden this week, and 2 in one day. I'd say that this was a good week!

Next weekend, it's caching time!!!
