At a lovely dinner party last night, I was caught off guard when presented with a wonderful gift: an eTrex Venture HC GPS unit! It was given as a memento for moving beyond getting my Master's degree to pursuing a PhD. Not only will it be super handy in the field while doing my PhD research, I am also looking forward to using it for pleasure.
I've decided to give geocashing a try and will, when I can and when I remember, document some of the adventures that this new endeavor brings my way.
For now, I am exploring the geocashing website (geocashing.com, username: TrUUGeoExplorer) and getting my bearings.
I'm off to Iowa for a family gathering this coming weekend and I hope to use it as a trial run!
