We thought this was cute – duck has a peace sign on him, so now he is The Peace Duck. Quack!

A fair exchange
I did not bring anything to leave in the boxes, because I had no intention of taking anything… that is, until I saw the Mickey Mouse camera toy in one of them! I quickly rifled through my field bag and decided a bug bite stick would be a fair and useful thing to leave it it’s place.
First cache! First to find!
I was teamed up with an experienced cacher "Lorriebird" – she has a Garmin, but was familiar with how the iPhone app works. My VERY first cache was also a "first to find" – mine is the first entry on the log. Exciting, and I guess a memo from the Universe that I was in the right place, doing what I am supposed to be doing.
The geocaching check-in table at CREW
A couple of laptops were set up to help people refresh their devices before setting out. I read that 71 caches have been placed in new locations in time for this event!
Geocaching at CREW: the crowd gathers
I got there a bit early and was able to chit-chat with a few folks prior to starting out, letting them know why I was there and what I hoped to learn. Everyone was super welcoming and friendly. The infamous "Jungle Pete", Kenny Jenkins, and CREW’s executive director Brenda Brooks were just a few of the folks who were generous with their time and knowledge.
Today’s adventure: Geocaching at CREW’s Cypress dome Trails
Yes, we were just here a couple of weeks ago for the Wildflower Festival. Now we’re going geocaching! Was conferring on Thursday with some classmates in the Florida Master Naturalist Program about final projects, and the subject of safe and ethical geocaching in the uplands was floated as a possible candidate. Since this event was coming up, I thought I would try my hand at it. I did some last spring when my niece was here, so I was not a complete novice but now I have "an app for that", so watch out! Here we go…

We went to find the other one on Bowman’s Beach and these nice people had gotten there before us.

Easel in the woods
I am very curuious as to why there are easels in the woods – and why there’s a big satellite map perched on one of them!
