Geocaching

[wolf]

I think this belongs here, as it's a "leisure" activity.

One of my friends and I decided to try geocaching. I am on my way out the door to meet up with her and another friend's kids, who she is babysitting today.

We've looked up a couple possibilities that aren't too far from the other friend's house and we're going to give it a shot.

I am not terribly woods-wise. Every time I go camping I have to have someone identify poison ivy for me, since I have no idea what that shit looks like (yes I know the rhyme, but it doesn't help since every damn plant out there has leaves of three). I have to assume I'm not very sensitive to it, because on more than one occasion I've had it pointed out to me that I'm sitting in the middle of a large patch of it. I also don't like bugs. Or snakes.

She has a miserable sense of direction, and has gotten lost despite having a GPS unit in her car. She's a retired Naval officer. Thank goodness in her day they didn't let women on ships. In OCS she plotted beautiful courses ... that always went the wrong way.

I should probably arrange for someone to be our safety call ...
