If you check out geocaching.com and look at the caches in our area you will see that there aren't any in Champlain, Chazy and Rouses Point. This is unfortunate because we live in Champlain, Chazy is directly south of us and Rouses Point is directly east of us. So when a cache popped up in Chazy on the 17th you can imagine how excited we were. One of the benefits of being a premium member on Geocaching.com is notifications. You can have the system automatically notify you of several different things based on specifications that you choose. I decided to have it tell us whenever a new cache is published within 30 miles of our home location. So that Saturday morning I got an email on my phone that a cache had been published in Chazy. Unfortunately I was at work and couldn't go after it.
Miner's Vision
Two days after the cache was published, on the 19th, we finally had the opportunity to stop by and pick this cache up. Our hopes of being First to Find (FTF or F2F) had been long squashed so now it was just for the fun of the game. Also, the cache was posted by mcgillz and it's always nice to do the caches from the same person. After doing laundry this morning and then visiting our grandmother we headed off to Chazy for some caching and a stop at the Chazy Rec Park. This cache is named as such because it resides not far from the Alice T Miner Museum. The cache is a nano and it only took us a few minutes to find it. Unfortunately it's near a busy shop so it was difficult to be discreet.
During our stop at the rec park we scouted out a couple locations for geocaches. We're hoping to hide our first cache soon and get more of the local cachers to stop in our area.
