Morongo Basin Grip & Grin #1 a success

What a great time we had. Lots of geocachers turned out for great company, trackable discovery & swapping as well yogurt & coffee and great reminiscing. I was blown away by the turnout. The local geocaching community didn't let me down. In fact, they came out in force. Thanks everyone. Your kind words of encouragement really made my day. I'm already looking forward to the next one. I am planning already and will begin scouring the tri-city area for a suitable location.

I thoroughly enjoyed all the camaraderie and storytelling.

'til next time,

More and more stolen trackables

What a sad note to pin on the refrigerator door of geocaching. Geocachers should NOT have to worry about what caches they drop TBs, geocoins or any other valuable items into for fear they will disappear. That is a sad commentary for a sport whose sole purpose is enjoyment.

This makes me think even more that geocaching socials that involve both discovering and possibly exchanging of trackable objects. This venue creates a safer environment for trackables to not drop off the face of the Earth, plus even those trackable items that Geocachers are not ready to release back to the wild yet can still be discovered.

Additionally, it creates more opportunities for us, Geocachers, to get together and enjoy one anothers' company. So often, it seems to me, that geocaching is experienced on an individual or family unit level only. We should get together more often.
