Chester Creek Cache-
My second episode of geocaching comes from my first day of the geocaching hobby. We drove to this site just five minutes from episode 1's location just after making my first find ever and so I'm still fresh to how it all works. Once again my friend Jimmy picked a great cache to help introduce me to geocaching. The bridge the cache is located under is located by the entrance to the great Westtown School, and the river by which the geocache is located goes into a manmade reservoir aptly named Westtown Lake. I really like this episode as it illustrates some of the main reasons I love geocaching: it takes you to great places you otherwise never would notice, you see some pretty nature like the waterfall next to this one, and we ever got to interact with a few creatures who call the site home. You'll see all of this in the video, and if you saw episode 1 you'll recognize the way with which we decide to wrap up our hunt!

Geocaching came along when a high school friend introduced me to it in September 2008. I embraced it and started caching after work and then on lunch breaks until I had found most of the caches within a 15 minute radius of my job. I recall hearing about geocaching once and visited the website years ago, perhaps as early as 2002, but at that point I didn't know what a GPS was or how to do the hobby. I actually still don't own a GPS myself (yet), and have to thank my next door neighbor- another fellow geocacher- for letting me have hers on a long-term loan. We've cached together a few times as well and once went out very early in a morning to get our first FTF.
