<b>OH my O.O</b></h2>
<br />
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It has been a couple of years, yes it has.</span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">To think I used to be an avid journaler and just look at me now *hangs head in shame*</span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I will admit though, that I have backed down from geocaching a lot in the past two years, and yes a lot has to do with my health. Rather than get into what is wrong with me (plenty, hee hee) I can honestly say that I really do miss it. </span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Kelly and I were talking about it, and he asked if I would mind if he closed a couple of my caches that I had put out. I asked which ones and he told me and I said nope that is fine. I said as long as we keep the 'Fairies' I am good :)</span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I have come to realized that the thing I liked most about Geocaching was going somewhere to look for something special, and even doing the puzzles. Not the wrack your brain, till your head falls off ones, but the ones that actually are solvable :P</span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I also miss the trails and getting outdoors as well as calling up a fellow geo-cacher and saying, 'hey, wanna go and get this cache with us?' Fellowship is awesome!</span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I am hoping come this spring and especially summer, we get the chance to start doing it more and more. </span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">If word comes back for me positive in January, then for sure, I shall be ready to go, and even if not, what the heck, I can still do it, cause I am damn tough...I have God on my side :D</span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I hope you are all taking care and caching your hearts out in the lovely weather </span></div>

One of those discs is pressing his spinal cord the wrong way and causing pain in his left leg and he is unable to walk on it fully.So geocaching really isn't something we are doing a lot of lately. Today though we did get out and do some cache maintenance on a couple of my caches and then we went out for dinner and came home. We have been out a couple times before, but not too much. We did do 4 caches the other day :) YAY!<br />I say give it time and we will be out and about more and more , and for sure you will be seeing us at GeoWoodstock and The GoldRush :)Dustannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08049817555646278529noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092698673890502053.post-89781282352520637692010-01-11T17:39:00.000-08:002010-01-11T22:12:00.498-08:00<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" >Wow, 2 months and here I am again :)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">This was the day of my surgery, yes the day that I had my gallbladder taken out.

It seems like that long since I have gone caching to.<br />I guess I should spit it out...I am at a fork in the road.<br />I love geocaching with a passion, but awhile ago I had a bad experience and it got worse and then it got a little better and then it just got worse again so I just decided to back away a bit.<br /><br />I have a condition and unfortunately things bother me a little more than others and it is harder for me to let things go or let them slide off my shoulders...also depends on who the person is who is doing or saying these things. Crazy I know. I also have 3 herniated discs in my back, syatica in my right leg all the way to my toes and my knees have just about had it. But seriously, that doesn't stop me from going for a FTF in the snow. :)<br /><br />Anyhow, I just find that some people are either too competetive or too negative for my taste and unfortunately when I go to log my finds and read a negative or abusive log it really bothers me. Sure it bothers me more to have someone do that to me, but hey, whatever, but to have to read it on other peoples' logs to? Ya it just makes me wonder why I even bother, cause seriously...<br />I still have over 70+ logs to log and that is one reason it has taken me this long to do so. Sad I know. I miss going geocaching. I remember going to an event and it was sad to see that about 4 people stood there and chatter while the rest of the cachers participated...it really irked me. Funny thing was it was the same people/person who writes the negative posts :( <br /><br />Anyhow...I decided that I need to get some pictures up and keep this going, so I gotta get caught up, cause seriously now, I have tons and tons of pictures and tons and tons of stuff to tell ya :P<br />So, I am off to pick up the kids but I shall return :)Dustannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08049817555646278529noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092698673890502053.post-23675774904116624222009-02-18T09:58:00.000-08:002009-02-18T10:05:38.764-08:00OK OK....I am updating....lol<br />Sorry I have taken so long<br /><br />I am working my way up to 1,000 caches by my anniversary date in April of 2009<br />Right now I am 11 away from 700...so that would mean 311 caches to do in a month in a half. I wonder if that could be done. Actually wasn't there someone who did over 300 caches in a weekend or was that in one day? LOL<br /><br />I have so many things to catch up on regarding events that we have been to and caches we have adventured...you name it. Thank goodness for my smilebox creations as it makes it so much easier to get the pictures up without having to organize them all. LOL<br /><br />Well on Saturday we have an event here in Abbotsford. I am going to be talking about Travel Bugs and Coins.<br /><a href="http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=819349fc-486e-4fe4-8fc7-b50055259e6c">GEOCACHING 101 - Abbotsford</a><br />I will tell you now...I am petrified. I may be a social person, but when you put me up in front of a crowd to speak, I just about throw up and I panic....really panic. It is so bad that I get the shakes. It is weird....lol<br /><br />On Sunday we are going to go into town and check out the Coquitlam event.<br /><a href="http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=e3c2c2c8-ecc9-49c0-8bda-b781b9b83bfe">GEOCACHING 101 - Coquitlam</a>Dustannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08049817555646278529noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092698673890502053.post-67190687640878392202009-02-09T14:06:00.001-08:002009-02-09T14:06:53.125-08:00I have decided!!!!!<br />I shall change the background.<br />Stay tuned!!!!!Dustannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08049817555646278529noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092698673890502053.post-23007002920357644912009-02-02T11:55:00.000-08:002009-02-02T11:57:47.533-08:00I am thinking about changing the background as I think it is hard to read with the sun on the water behind the words.<br />I am ready to update, but wanted to change it before hand....only problem is when I change it, I loose all of my right hand info...so I have to re-do it.

I wasn't able to get many pictures (well good ones) of the birds but now have shown Kelly that I need a bird book, as birds facinate me and I am always asking 'what kind of bird is that?'<br />As we had pulled up to park the van for our trek on the trail to the cache, a gentleman pulled up behind us and off he went ahead. As we arrived at the cache, there was the gentleman with the cache, so we turned our backs and let him finish.<br />When finished we all introduced ourselves and it was wonderful that we got the chance to meet Moicy. I had seen the name in logs and had never met him, so it was great that we had our chance to do so yesterday.

Amazing!</p>I am not too far behind...about 50 or so.<br />We went out to Port Coquitlam today and Kelly picked May Dayz to be his 700th Cache. Of course he has to pick the one where we have to get out of the van, stand in the freezing cold wind and count for what seemed like an eternity. We endured it though and the kids had fun.<br />I was a little sad to come to the first part of this cache during the winter month as I hear it is amazing to see during the summer time. Funny how Kelly's mother lives in this area, as did I at one time and had never seen this little park, and the 'ride' there. Today when giving it a push...squeek and creak it did.<br />For the second half of the cache we got smart and staying in the van and just drove back and forth to do our counting. Seriously....picture this van going forward along this lane....then backing up....then forward again....then backing up. It was quite the site for a couple of muggles who were admiring the mural. hee hee<br />After we finished the cache, the day was left for me and all the caches I wished to find, and find we did. With the bitter wind and the daylight fading, we managed to do 7 caches. I am sure we could have done a few more had it not been such a slow start in the am, the fitting of Kelly's glasses, the 'little bit' of shopping I did, and of course, picking up the brakes for the van. Priorities, priorities....lol<br />We ended the day by visiting Kelly's mother and having a Chinese food feast. I ate, had my glass of wine and basically planted myself in front of the tv, and chatted with Kelly's step dad. I had hoped and thought we were going to Bellingham for a Geocaching event, but plans had changed (much to my surprise).<br /><br />I am wondering now, after caching on a day like this cold one past, how much more caching we will do. I myself didn't have much of a problem with the cold, but brrrrrrr, it sure can get nippy. As long as the snow stays away, I plan on caching right thru these winter months, as I would like to get my 1000 before April 2009.<br /><br />Overall, this day of Kelly's 700th was a good one.Dustannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08049817555646278529noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092698673890502053.post-339510187354898072008-11-18T20:31:00.000-08:002008-11-18T21:09:39.292-08:00Gearhedd's Meet n' Greet Poker Event<br /><br />We were lucky to attend a poker event this year.

This was my first 4x4 trip up a very bouncy and bumpy mountain. We got lost a couple of times, but in the end we managed to make it to Cabin Lake. What a view!!!!</p><p>We decided to pitch our tent under the evergreens to keep the rain and snow to a minimum. It didn't rain, but it did snow and it even dropped down to -2. I have never camped out in snowy weather and below zero degrees. The fire was warm and wonderful and even the roasted marshmallows were great. Some of the other cachers had found some lava rocks and put them close to the fire, if not in and then wrapped them in towels to put in their tents to keep them warm. TESKELLY and I didn't do that, but our tent was small enough to keep the body heat in, and with Geo-pet Milly under the covers with us, we were comfy cozy.</p><p>The hike up the mountain the next day was one I will never forget. I had to stop a few times on the hills to catch my breath, or try to catch it, but I trudged forward. Just as we reached the field of heather, it started to hail, but as we reached the plane crash site (cache site) the hail stopped and then sun came out shining.</p><p>We finished signing the log and the Tulameen Turtles and their friends ventured up to the top of the crash site. TESKELLY and I decided to venture back down the hill, as I wanted to take some photos. No sooner had I been at the bottom of the hill for about 5 minutes, it started to hail again, and hard. It was then the Turtles and their friends had started to come down the hill. So we trudged thru the heather back to the trail and tried to seek some shelter from the overhanging trees. Soon the hail turned to snow, and then it stopped all together. By the time we got to the campsite, the sun was shining but the air was still cool.</p><p>TESKELLY and I had to leave early as we had to pick up our little ones, so we un-pitched the tent, packed up, said our goodbyes and off we went for our 3.5 hour bumpity trip down the mountain. That is when t he rain began, and so it was...rain, sun, snow and hail. I have now seen it all.</p><p></p>Dustannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08049817555646278529noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092698673890502053.post-32291070181723616962008-10-02T20:03:00.000-07:002008-10-02T20:35:03.538-07:00<div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSnNs5VCDrPySRFeiveMxJhJ97mexkuuJgiW6wNuc1pr-Xzrgu91THZ172WB_4wFcWCPvsuXsSfOyAByTJxHqtWAEjFQQppGXCVHq1VtVQFSSJl3CiaMq2nHAncVGniYW8o2eq-oFCXDA/s1600-h/IMG_0274.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252762436091134786" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSnNs5VCDrPySRFeiveMxJhJ97mexkuuJgiW6wNuc1pr-Xzrgu91THZ172WB_4wFcWCPvsuXsSfOyAByTJxHqtWAEjFQQppGXCVHq1VtVQFSSJl3CiaMq2nHAncVGniYW8o2eq-oFCXDA/s320/IMG_0274.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">How I Became a GeoCacher</span></strong></div><div>Just thought that I would let ya'll know how I actually came to be a geocacher. Being married to TESKELLY helped, I would have to say that. He started caching a month before me, and being tired of being left at home, I decided to tag along one caching day, by being the designated non-caching driver.</div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOmif-158viVykDJEKVadATVymVuEykDburbVt4_g33J29lj7c_Fkuciy0ivXqEx9VyasE7CB0jAjICkHnOTmfkxKuV5HX24FaZY2fBXcMm0oJvLuOKWCyetkDLAMk-NFjw9nEhTKIDjM/s1600-h/IMG_0892.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252765622855354514" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOmif-158viVykDJEKVadATVymVuEykDburbVt4_g33J29lj7c_Fkuciy0ivXqEx9VyasE7CB0jAjICkHnOTmfkxKuV5HX24FaZY2fBXcMm0oJvLuOKWCyetkDLAMk-NFjw9nEhTKIDjM/s320/IMG_0892.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div>After doing about 5 caches, I told TESKELLY to hand me his GPS and I would try the next one. With a little help at the end (what doesn't look right, he says), I found the cache. Since then, I was hooked! So hooked that to date I am at 545 caches. Yes I would say that most of them are in the 1-2.5 terrain but I am getting hooked on those 3-5 ones now. Especially the 4x4 trails. Who would have thought that bumping and bouncing over a bunch of logs and rocks and gulleys would be so much fun.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrEWfTmxsPp-jcBrCQAlCeXeI2WAekZeD7V3wiMza_s192n6_4aAzM-AhCp-CxBYW25JYRL8i36F9z5fNTX-JwkHExtsPzDn8Z3rLCPm7EHr9bGQPfY2UDd7MewA4NX7tzjsR8lGS75Vg/s1600-h/IMG_0870.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252764819211939874" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrEWfTmxsPp-jcBrCQAlCeXeI2WAekZeD7V3wiMza_s192n6_4aAzM-AhCp-CxBYW25JYRL8i36F9z5fNTX-JwkHExtsPzDn8Z3rLCPm7EHr9bGQPfY2UDd7MewA4NX7tzjsR8lGS75Vg/s320/IMG_0870.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I look forward to all the caches I have yet to find and the caches I have yet to place.

It took us over 6 hours, but we weren't in it for the race, only to find the caches and the fun of it all.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivf6UImZ824_r_kF98ZGOyfAyrlVVFbv0pOy_IloHWgxNMOT8vQhnUqN42u8JkPyXHMv_aRmdZrsrgIr7NZKeAfRficOoxjs5mpR3ALURe7WwYhGuRLeYtHXpHD1k1dhfr6v7OLxxuCko/s1600-h/IMG_2159.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250163447428201314" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivf6UImZ824_r_kF98ZGOyfAyrlVVFbv0pOy_IloHWgxNMOT8vQhnUqN42u8JkPyXHMv_aRmdZrsrgIr7NZKeAfRficOoxjs5mpR3ALURe7WwYhGuRLeYtHXpHD1k1dhfr6v7OLxxuCko/s320/IMG_2159.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrn5juoHEX8jX2XKJjjHjZMbMndnCf1Ykn32p-6pW0ZysueClQKPHBE3sHjWMuE-ShUECFChcsHnzSWkH7nQUaHwR-JIkEWiwRT2NkvqzliPleZd5ourOlIB6FKafdBMNRliWWhR6H0e4/s1600-h/IMG_2160.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250163809981037362" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrn5juoHEX8jX2XKJjjHjZMbMndnCf1Ykn32p-6pW0ZysueClQKPHBE3sHjWMuE-ShUECFChcsHnzSWkH7nQUaHwR-JIkEWiwRT2NkvqzliPleZd5ourOlIB6FKafdBMNRliWWhR6H0e4/s320/IMG_2160.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><div>Driving around looking for the caches proved to Kelly and myself that we aren't quite ready to tackle 'The Amazing Race'.

I had only thought that Capilano had a suspension bridge. WRONG! Not one who likes heights, especially when the heights rock while you walk across them.

We had brought a cake for everyone as Nana's birthday was close so figured we all could share her birthday together. It was awesome as everyone (even the Pathfinders) sang happy birthday to her. The cake was awesome! Delicious and it looked gorgeous.
