I have to admit I have been hiding out. Ever since those humans of mine dropped me face first in the snow, I've been afraid of the cold. Winter seems to have gone on and on and on. But I am cautiously optimistic, and feel that perhaps spring is finally here in Indiana.
To catch you up on what my humans have been doing, I must say they have been neglecting me somewhat. Diane has been tending her mother and had to say goodbye to her forever. That was hard on all of us, but we know we shall see her again. And then those humans started hunting for a new nest. They seem to want to find a place with water around it...and of course, we the Philbert Phlock of Phlamingos would like this very much. Not just a flood zone, but an actual lake or something similar.
But in the midst of all of this, we set out to do some waymarking and geocaching. I'd like to share some thoughts and lessons I have personally learned watching my humans do these crazy activities.
1. Geocaching can take you to some really neat places that can be waymarked! For example, we found some covered bridges that we would never have located if we had not heard there was a geocache nearby.
2. Things are not always what they seem. Even ordinary objects may be hiding a secret.
3. Forget lesson number two. Sometimes things are exactly as they seem and you have over thought the obvious.
4. Humans should not drink large amount of diet soft drinks before going out to geocache.
5. Learn from the experience of others. They will often leave clues if you know how to look for them.
6. Noah had the right idea. Going two by two into the world of caching is not a bad idea.
7. Small things can have big payoffs.
8. Large things can also have big payoffs.
9. Keep a walking stick nearby.
10. It is important to have fun and remember that caching and waymarking are just hobbies.
Catch ya later with some pics!
Philbert
