(1) i waited in line for four and a half hours in order to purchase a bus ticket for my suitemate lauren, who couldn’t stand in line as she’s away for the weekend. man, she owes me!

(2) my dad and i found a multicache that we attempted to find two times in the past, which was very satisfying.

(3) we got stared at by a llama.

(4) we also did some light rock climbing and climbed to the bottom of the fallbrook falls gorge. let me just say, going down is a lot easier than going up. man, today my arms are really realy sore.

(5) and today i didn’t break my budget at the grocery store. and i spent $17 in coins! hahaha i’m obnoxious.

(1) i’m back at geneseo, as fall break ends today. when i got here i discovered that my key card was mysteriously deactivated, something that i unfortunately experienced last year too. sucks not being able to get in your dorm, especially when you have errands to run. luckily i was able to get a replacement because it’s a weekday, not like last time when it was a friday night. that was terrible.

(2) my mom found our GPS! a day after i bought a new one. *headdesk*

(3) i redyed my hair on saturday. it’s super bright. my roommates claim it’s brighter than it has ever been before… dun dun dun.

three things i did today, in photos:

(1) hung out with stabby, took this photo of a tree on her street.

(2) tried being a blonde for a few hours.

(3) went on a bittersweet geocaching adventure on my bike. bittersweet because i lost our GPS. ugh i’m such an idiot.

four (and a half) geocaches yesterday!

( continue reading this entry! )

just one today. my dad and i tried for three, but one’s coordinates were too off to find it, and the other one was at the bottom of the quarry, which is a bit too exciting for us.

so yes, today was a good day, because i did not fall in a gorge.

although it was a very pretty gorge. some may say it was a gorgeous gorge. oh my, i am very sorry about that.

my dad and i found FIVE geocaches today! lots of photos and stuffz under the cut.

( continue reading this entry! )

my dad and i went geocaching today! i think i got him hooked : )

my dad and the first cache we found. this one was hid near the erie canal and the expressway. we spent awhile looking for it, and my dad was the one who found it!

me and the second cache we found. this one was in the brighton town park. i found this cache.

we also tried to find another one in henrietta but were unable to locate it. although my dad did stumble upon some illegal drugs… lol.

 
my photos & my dad’s photos

okay, so i got antsy and couldn’t wait until saturday to start geocaching, so i did one today on campus! i found this microcache because it’s basically across the street from my dorm. and when i say basically, i mean i can actually see the hiding spot from my window. haha. i had to find one that i wouldn’t need a GPS for, and this one fit the bill perfectly.

i went looking for it with my suitemate lindsey, but after searching for quite awhile, we just couldn’t find it. using the hints in the cache description and the google map, i deduced that it was by the tennis courts, but we searched all over the area and didn’t uncover it. later i emailed the person that originally hid the cache, and she gave me a few hints that helped me find it. i actually had looked in the place it’s hidden, but i guess i didn’t look hard enough!

that’s the microcache and the logbook.

me and the cache.

recently my math teacher told our class about something i have become really interested in, but haven’t been able to try yet — geocaching. basically, it’s hide and seek for adults. and there’s “treasure.”

you go on the geocaching website and find a cache (basically a container with a log and some stuff in it) you want to look for. they give you GPS coordinates and you put them in a GPS. then you find the cache! usually they’re in parks and stuff, so you get to hike around and find it. this is why i like the idea — i love hiking, but i just can’t stand hiking for no purpose.

there’s a cache right by my house (there are actually several), and i want to try to find it this weekend. the problem is, i don’t have a GPS. and i’m not sure i want to shell out more than a hundred bucks for one. anyone know if i can like rent one? or will the one my dad has for his car work?

dad: you want to do this with me? i think it would be fun, and you can take photos and stuff too!
