A Year Gone By: There's Some "Caching" Up to Do.

Well, now that gas has hit $4.00 per gallon, I'm a lot more limited in my geocaching time. I've "cached out" my area, except for a few poison oak and tick filled hikes. I need to load up on the Tecnu, but it's easier just to avoid hiking those trails. I've solved some puzzles I may never fetch. But hey! I've lost 32 pounds since last year, and going for a five mile walk is no longer a major event. In fact, last week, I went on three hikes of three miles or more. I don't plan to back off on the exercise, but I'm financially forced to back off on the geocaching.

But, I have an iPad. Yes, it was another gift, since I could never afford to buy one. I've taken my iPad on hikes. I'm using a great geocaching app called "Geosphere." It's very functional and easy to use. I may write a full review on it at some point. Then again, I may have to sell my iPad to buy gas.
