We traveled to the villages of Grande Point, Dover Centre, Ounga and Countryview Golf Course on a quest to find hidden treasures. We were successful! With the help of my GPS we found 4 very different caches. Bill even registered his finds on geocaching.com and chose the name gobigblue. Good luck finding further caches in and around Kentucky.

Later in the evening they held a meet & greet dinner at Glitters Restaurant in Chatham. Door prizes galore and a nice bunch of people to share a meal with. Continue reading →

People hide small, waterproof containers, called “Caches,” in various spots all over the world (currently over 800,000 locations). The basic idea is to locate these hidden containers and then log and share your experiences on-line. Continue reading →
