Came for the FTF, stayed for the view!

#geocaching #adirondacks #ADK
A calm reflection pond surrounded by autumn trees in full color—reds, oranges, yellows, and greens. The clear blue sky is mirrored perfectly in the water, along with the forested hillside. In the foreground, a small piece of paper with “FTF” written on it is held up, marking the geocache find.

It's been over 8 years since I attended a Geocaching event in the Adirondacks. It was great to meet and chat with all the new cachers who have started since I moved away from the area!

(Plus we had perfect weather in Saranac Lake, NY)

Nothing like a fake spider in a #geocache to test your heart rate. 🕷️💀

Just a little mouse, living in an ammo box world. Another great #geocache in Idaho!
A small, rusted metal sculpture of a mouse with large, round ears sits on a forest floor. The mouse's body is a repurposed black ammunition box with the word "Geocache" painted in red on the side. The head, ears, nose, and legs are made from various rusty metal pieces and springs. The box is tucked against the base of a pine tree. A person's hand is visible at the top of the frame, holding onto the box.

It's a fantastic time to see the cherry blossoms at the @utahgov.bsky.social capitol building!

There are also a few geocaches nearby
The Utah State Capitol building viewed through blooming cherry blossom branches, which frame the neoclassical dome and columns. The sky is clear and blue, and the lush green lawn in front of the building adds to the vibrant springtime feel. A serene pathway lined with cherry blossom trees in full bloom, creating a soft pink canopy overhead. The ground is covered in light gravel, and dappled shadows from the blossoms dance along the path. A bright blue sky peeks through the flowers, adding to the peaceful spring atmosphere.

Now THAT'S an ammo can

Easily the largest I've found

Beautiful day to be caching in Northern Nevada. This one is 24 years old!

A wide, dry landscape with a Geocache in the foreground. Grayish-brown shrubs and rocks dot the gravelly ground. In the distance, a flat expanse stretches to a mountain range with snow-capped peaks under a dramatic, cloudy sky.

Geocachers, what's the fastest you've made a FTF? I found this one 29 minutes after publishing today.

PSA: Don't wear white shoes to find a Geocache called "Water Hazard"

(Super cool cache though, watch for a video in the coming weeks!)

Found this little guy who set up a winter home on a logbook bag. (Glad it wasn't a black widow...)

Here's that geocache I was printing yesterday. It's a dragon egg container that looks amazing with this galaxy emerald petg filament. Now the hard part: finding a great place to hide it!

Caching through the snow 🎶

I was happy to see this winter-friendly Geocache at the trailhead. (Can't wait for spring though)

I asked YouTube's AI (Google Gemini?) how skilled of a Geocacher I am based on my most recent video. Apparently I'm "not a superstar" at geocaching 😅
AI chat output saying: Overall: The speaker's performance isn't a perfect indication of overall talent, but they demonstrate a combination of experience, problem-solving skills, and persistence that are common in good geocachers. They might not be a "superstar" in the hobby, but they're clearly enjoying the challenge and finding success.

Number of "Not Winter Accessible" caches I attempted to find during my hike today: 5

Number of "Not Winter Accessible" caches I was unable to find under heavy snow today: 5

Hey, at least I found a Christmas tree up there
