I remember ripping apart my first coin-containing cache like a kid at Christmas. I just sat and admired the work of art for a few minutes.<br /><br />The worst part about trackables is that they inevitably go missing... but I think the travels of those that survive are totally worth it. I made a post with some of my personal tips to trying to avoid trackable loss <a href="http://www.cachecrazy.com/2011/10/trouble-with-trackables.html" rel="nofollow">back at CacheCrazy.com</a> for those who feel the same!

If you're ever out on holiday (since you live inland) on a coastal area with (ideally) warm waters, I suggest you try it out! :o)CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687899793433885679.post-15362230405025807812011-09-10T14:41:59.413-05:002011-09-10T14:41:59.413-05:00Cris: Really?

I am not in the least bit familiar with Spain, but based on Alicante, go to the GC website and plug in this GC code: GC2343J Is that anywhere near you? There are lots of caches around there. Once you sign up on the GC site (FREE) you will get weekly emails with new caches in your area as well as upcoming events like lunches or picnics or parties. Most of them are FREE and a good way to meet and greet other area cachers. With your outgoing personality and quest for adventure, this hobby is a natural fit for you. Let me know when you find your first cache!<br /><br />Off to look at your octopod page....<br /><br />Stop working so hard!

Wish I could stop by more often... damn "real life" has been getting in the way of my spending as much time as I'd like in the blogosphere! :p<br /><br />If I ever manage to get myself organised I definitely need to look into geocaching and find out if any people are into it here in Alicante. I need to find a new activity that will get me out of doors and into nature. By which I mean I need to find new people to do that with because my friends here are all a bit too sedentary... (except for the occasional beach outing)<br /><br />Here's a link to Pol, my travelling octopod:<br />http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5hIxdkpU8CE/TLjD0Y6L-wI/AAAAAAAADEs/6Gx-7A0ApXM/s1600/CB103728.jpg<br /><br />He's named in honor of Paul the World Cup predicting otcopus that was such a sensation last year<br />http://crazycrishereandthere.blogspot.com/2010/10/farewell-to-paul-our-football-loving.html<br /><br />I found him in the Mallorca Aquarium last summer and was instantly captivated by his eyes. The fact that he fit perfectly in the palm of my hand just sealed the deal! He's joined me on most of my travels since then and tends to sneak into the occasional photo here and there. ;o)<br />And he inspired my snowctopus last winter in Belgium! :p<br />http://crazycrishereandthere.blogspot.com/2010/12/snowctopus.htmlCrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687899793433885679.post-27188249287953965812011-08-25T19:56:08.353-05:002011-08-25T19:56:08.353-05:00Hi Cris!

Some write me great notes and others post super pictures. I love seeing a picture with my TB in it.Kim@Snug Harborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12066749954523201722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687899793433885679.post-47203287028226893532011-08-25T17:23:59.188-05:002011-08-25T17:23:59.188-05:00I like this idea even more than the regular geocac...I like this idea even more than the regular geocaching!
