The Saviors

After finishing up my second meeting of the day in Glassboro, I took a short stroll through a small park by a pond and grabbed The Saviors geocache. It was a small bottle covered with camouflage tape, hidden in the thick shrubbery at the base of a small tree. It was easy to find and the park was beautiful, which made for a nice little break from working in the afternoon.

Rowan's Cache

After a morning meeting nearby, I had some time to kill before my next appointment, so I took a stroll along a beautiful wooded path on the Rowan Universtiy campus and grabbed Rowan's Cache. It was situated in the crook of a large tree in the middle of the wooded area, just slightly off the main pathway. If I were a few inches shorter, I might not have been able to reach this, but as it was I only had to stand on the very tips of my toes to grab the container (a vitamin bottle covered with camouflage tape). Inside the bottle was nothing really special, so I put my Coins Of The World travel bug inside for the next geocacher.

Can you see the cache hidden in there?

Vehicle Travel Bug


This is another item I picked up from the Groundspeak Shop. It's a Vehicle Travel Bug decal that sticks to the inside of your window, making your car trackable. I really like this one because it's not a sticker that's permanent, but a decal that you can remove and transfer somewhere else. If I ever buy a new car, this can come with me...

Backpacker Travel Bug

I recently got this Backpacker Travel Bug from the Groundspeak Shop. It's a pretty neat little trackable that actually attaches to the lid of a standard 35mm film container. The idea expands on ordinary traveling coins and bugs by allowing you to make a small container trackable. Now I just have to figure out where to drop it off and what to put in the film canister!

Hoo-Ray at Haa-Rah's

Some friends and I stayed the night in Atlantic City at Harrah's Casino. After losing a few bucks playing poker, I walked outside to sulk and while in the parking lot I noticed a cache nearby called Hoo-Ray at Haa-Rah's. The description was funny and the location was within easy walking distance from Harrah's.

This photo shows the nano container. It was stuck under a bench along a paved path behind Harrah's Casino.
