Geocaching update

Apr 12th, 2006No Comments

Yes, I did some geocaching on our trip and I thought I would make a separate post on that.

I got #50 on the way home. It was a much longer walk and more bushwaking than I wanted to do (especially at a rest stop!) but, hey, it was for #50. My favorite find of the trip was probably The Drake Bridge mostly because of it’s location. And the Chef’s New Clothes is just about the easiest cache I have ever found — virtual or not.

I also finally grabbed some lithum AA batteries for my GPS. For some reason, I’ve never been able to find any in Omaha. Though they are quite a bit more expensive, they are supposed to last a lot longer. The package said 7x longer — I’ll believe it when I see it, but I would be happy with 3x-5x longer. Well, I had my GPSr on most of the drive home from Austin and it battery indicator still says 100%! If this was the normal alkaline battery they would have went out or been mostly out of juice by now. Wonderful stuff!
