Feeding Squirrels On My Way To Work

Caching By Rail

Wednesday, 4 November, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Our recent geocaching experiences in south Tacoma (the last half, anyway) and on Long Beach Peninsula have reinstated the caching bug in me. I’ve blogged more about geocaching this week than I did for the month of August.

I spent some time this morning (the last day of my vacation) surfing around the geocaching.com site. Suddenly, I had an idea to set up a bookmark of caches within walking distance (a half-mile, round trip) of Link light rail stations. I discovered that there aren’t very many, and most of them have been previously Found by us. There were two however, across the street from Link stations. (Hiding a cache in a station would create a security concern.) Then I thought: Instead of bookmarking the caches, why not just go look for them?

I packed up our Magellan (both caches were micros, so there was no need to bring swag) and my cell phone, and took a ride on Link. I Found both of them.
