I joined up with MAGC to see how many Coasties are Caching!

Out of the six fortune cookies on the table at Panda Express I picked this one!

The U.S. Lifesaving Service was the predecessor for the Coast Guard.

Well in the last little bit since my last post, I haven't really done a lot of caching. We did however try to place a cache at a historic Coast Guard Cemetery at Point Reyes. We spent a lot of time doing research, learning how to make an HTML page, picking the right swag to place in the cache, driving to the location, and finding the perfect location to hide it in the cemetery, only to find out that we placed it in a National Park where geocaching is prohibited. So we had to drive all the way back out there to get it. On the drive out there to recover the failed cache placement, Sam got sick and starting barfing in a plastic bag. We were so far away from anything we had to carry that bag of puke in the car until we found a trashcan, YUCK!!

While I was looking at caches around Mary's house I found a link to a group of military geocachers called "Military Association of GeoCachers" or MAGC for short. I made myself an account to see how many Coasties were part of it. Turns out that there really isn't that many Coasties involved with this group of cachers and that most of them are on the east coast. I did post in the forums though and a lot people responded welcoming me and letting me know that they are willing to assist me if I ever travel to their area, which is pretty cool!
