| View from where my GeoCoin was found. |
First of April, first day of our challenge, first GeoCoing & TravelBug, and a first time cacher. Wow! I (Sarah-Bellum) have been sick with Mono for the last 3 weeks, but despite my extreme exhaustion, (I have just returned to work part-time) and typical 'wet' coast weather, I couldn't wait to get out and find our first caches! Myself and Laerok took his mom, a first time cacher, out to some local places. We started with an easy one. It is right outside Laerok's work, placed by a co-worker. Our second find of the evening was a local beach, it was an easy find, but we spent more time beachcombing for glass, quartz and other assorted geoloical bits than we did finding the cache! At another beach a little ways north we found our first GeoCoin: AON98N. This GeoCoin originated in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany in November 2009. It's goal is to go around the world. So far it has been to Thailand, India, back to Thailand, Ontario, various locations around BC, and Mexico. I will drop it in a cache tomorrow when we are in Sooke.
The only micro-cache we were able to find was another placed by Laerok's co-worker. We searched for one earlier in the evening, but it alluded us.
Our second to last cache of the night was found by our 'newbie'! Very exciting!
Our last cache was also a first. It was our first multi-cache. A multi-cache has 2 or more locations. The first location has a hint or riddle to find the physical cache. Laerok opened it to find a few trackables. He decided on the TravelBug (A1KAZW) with the USB drive attached to it. It is from Niedersachsen, Germany. It's goal is to travel from cache to cache, and back to Germany. So far it has bounced around Neidersachsen, Mexico, and BC.

A side note, Laerok posted his first cache on Thursday and already has a few logs! Very cool. I put one out too, but there was an issue with it being to close to another one so I will try to move it to a new location this week. Tomorrow we are off to Sooke for a day of caching with my friend Cheryl!
