Well, I've been in the mountains of North Carolina, staying at a fabulous aery called the A.E. Deville House on Whiteside Mountain. Here are a couple of pictures of our view: What I learned by staying here is that I want to be able to have a long view, but I don't want to be so far above things that...
The power bill increase is the result of a 20 percent rate hike passed down from the Tennessee Valley Authority, which supplies power to parts of Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia. That's right! now that we are conserving our gas and staying home, we get...

Vacation was wonderful. Aside from being seated in the back of the plane near the engine on our connecting flight to Raleigh-Durham, the trip went smoothly. We went from the airport ti the Whole Foods in Chapel Hill, where I procured some lack Phoenix Alchemy Labs perfume oils. Then we did a...
Wrapping up the random day... Forgot I had even taken this. It was in my "To Flickr" folder and saw it today when I was adding the pics from earlier today... I must have been experimenting with the cam's settings cause its got a bit of wonky noise going on...but I still like this shot of some of...

Whilst out yesterday placing my double secret cache - Getting the Lowe Down #3 - Secret Cache (GC1AQHH). I found this little guy on the ground trying to warm up. The beauty found while GeoCaching is usually unexpected and sometimes breath-taking. Just another benefit to getting out from in front of...
Cache Found! Can we say SWAMP? Oh what fun and not a bad photo either. I was out by Fuquay-Varina, NC this afternoon. After getting all my chores done this morning and before the heavy rains came in I had some caching time by myself. One of my first tries was a little cache called The Swamp King....

As I was wrapping up the cache I heard someone walking up the trail. Knew instantly it was a cacher. The tell tale signs were there. Eyes...
Well the weatherman says this weekend is going to be a rainy one. Part of me is bummed because this is cutting into my weekend caching time. On the other hand this is Raleigh, NC and we are currently in a 100 year drought. So any rain at all is welcome... Since all my normal husbandly duties are...
200 Caches Found! I thought this was going to be a quick grab and go for my 200th cache. Then I noticed my GPS was off about 50ft. The cache site was actually my first thought because it is such a cool place. Looked around area and saw cache surrounded by thick spider webs. Never saw the beastie but...
This particular cache has some very special meaning for me on several levels. To begin, this was my very first "FTF" or first to find. When you get one of these gives you some nice bragging rights in the Geocaching community. These caches can go on for years, have thousands of visitors but there is...
This was fun. Another grab and go with an unexpected twist.. I pulled up to this cache and saw the obvious spot where it was going to be. Was more concerned about the creepy crawlies in a place like that but that is why I wear gloves. What I found shocked the heck out of me. The opening you see in...

Had a really great day on Saturday. Spent the afternoon with my daughter Amanda (Geoness) caching in the Fuquay-Varina, NC area. We started out by being able to get a handful of caches during the afternoon and even though we did not get huge numbers we did visit some real interesting places. For...

The sun was going down so the shot is a bit blurry but hey ya have to have some fun while caching. We picked up a quick...
Cache Found! Seven for 90 minutes play. Daughter Headhardhat and I was able to hit the Garner / Clayton, NC area for about an hour and a half this evening. Had a great time together and met some nice people along the way.
Had a great afternoon today. Started out by driving over to Fuquay-Varina, NC with the hopes of finding and if need be repairing some newly adopting caches. My first stop was a bridge hide and before you start writing to me of the evils of such hides it is in the middle of nowhere. I too have seen...
