What I really like about geocaching.

 

One of our great joys has always been to need to go to places we probably wouldn’t otherwise go.

Our most recent trip took us, amongst other places, to Mandeville, Southland, New Zealand.

Totally unexpectedly, we found an old and well preserved, obviously well cared for, train engine near one of the Cache sites.

To be able to climb aboard and pretend to be the driver was a little boy’s dream come true.

We spent a lot more time “playing trains” than cache hunting. Eventually we decided to go and find the cache and sign the log.

Ah!! The joys of geocaching. The anticipation of more days like this to come will get us out again and again and again.

I have been geocaching since 2005 and this has now become my major hobby. It has replaced fly fishing but I intend to hang on to my geocaching handle "Onslow Fisherman".
I live in Central Otago, New Zealand, on the banks of the Clutha River.
