Today I took my son and found a few caches that were close together. He's almost two and was a blast to have along during the finds. They were his first!
Here is a rundown of what we found:
CG22VDT - 1098 Old Dam Neck Rd. P&G - First find of the day. Easy! Always fun though.
CGJEH4 - Corporate Falls - Good little cache. Its in a spot you wouldn't expect thats for sure. Nice placement! I took the Travel Bug and moved it to a cache across the street.
CG20N8M - This could be Taxing - Very cool small cache. In a nice little spot you can easily miss if not careful. I placed the Travel Bug I got from CGJEH4 here. Was a tight fit, but will be a good surprise for the owner as I bet they never thought a TB would make it into this cache. This is a premium cache only open to members of geocaching.com.
Today's trek was to test out the Geocaching.com iPhone App. It was pretty good for the type of caches I was after (urban). Not sure how good it would have been in the thick stuff because the iPhone has a hard time determining direction. We did a lot of circles around CGJEH4, but it still did the job.
Pros: It's nicely integrated with the iPhone and website. I was able to post in the field. Overhead imagery was a nice reference, but the images were a little blurry.
Cons: Battery hog! Had to long-in every time I shut the app down. It seems that you can get better resolution imagery on Google Maps app.
Overall: It's still earning it's $9.99 price tag as far as I'm concerned. Especially since I'm a paying member at the website. It's a lot more convenient compared to my older method of keeping points with me that makes me want to continue to use it. It's a nice to have in my GC toolkit.
