I've been Youtubed!

Last week, runeshower, wallballgirl, and I attended a Meet and Greet event for our local geocaching community. Someone had a video camera:

I like the dogs the best :)

Why am I not surprised? ;-)

Is that runeshower sitting on the ground, wearing a red top?

oakdragon June 22 2007, 15:23:31 UTC

Yup! The wonderful runeshower captured for forever (or until Youtube folds or the author takes down the video). ;-)

wow, makes me wish i had more free time.
maybe in the future looks like so much fun.

It is. Usually Geocaching is an activity done alone, with one or two others, or in small groups (like other things I enjoy). What the video didn't catch was on our way out we went to find a cache that was in the park. runeshower had found it before on her lunch hour, but wanted to show wallballgirl. As she was about to enter the hidden space, about a dozen people from the Meet and Greet approached. Usually, the rules are to make sure no one else sees you access the cache (this is primarily about the non-cachers / "muggles" / "geomuggles" who, not knowing the rules, might disturb/walk away with said cache). Hiding was completely out. Everyone knew where their GPS units were leading them and a couple of people went into the space to retrieve the cache. The log book was then passed around for all to sign. It was a very strange feeling to be dealing with a cache in the midst of such a large group.

Looks like you all had a nice time, why are you worried??? per your emoticon?

oakdragon June 22 2007, 15:34:25 UTC

Oh, nothing about the event or the video. Just some worries about challenges we're dealing with right now.

Chuckle, I haven't even been to a geocaching gathering myself yet! Let me know next time you folks are going to one... that might give me more incentive to attend myself...

It's unlikely we'd have gone to an event so soon, except that I've set up a pocket query for new caches within a VERY short distance. That one was right near my work, at a park I already knew well and had visited for caching. So it was a must-do, you know? :-)

Yes :-) And did you hear, Geowoodstock will be in California in 2008?

BTW, will you folks be doing the July 7 Rallye? Any chance I could join you again, if so? I enjoyed the last one lots.
