It has been a while since our last blog post, but it has been a busy few weeks. As previously mentioned, we had been away on a camping trip over the May long weekend. We had planned on finding ‘Waterfalls of Rain’, but with so much to get organized and packed it was an after thought. The week before we left I had looked to see if there were any caches out near where we would be camping, but it is remote and the closest was about an hours drive away. There are lots of caches along the Cowichan River that we hope to get to one day this summer.
For a while now I have wanted to take my Dad out so he could try his hand at some caches. Due to circumstances this is quite hard to do. I finally had the opportunity to do so! I had some caches loaded on the GPS, but we ended up using our phones for most of them. We were able to accomplish about a dozen. My Dad has an Android and I have an iPhone. We found out that the iPhone is much more accurate than the Android. I would be within a few meters of a cache, while the Android was telling my dad that he still had quite a distance to go. In one instance, he had found the cache and his phone told him to go another 55 meters to the south. This would have put him in the building!
Now that I have converted another ‘muggle’, we are planning to go out again on Saturday. My Dad will now be referred to as ‘ScreaminBeaver’.
