Office Space Themed Geocaches - 1/18/2015

This weekend, I discovered a small cluster of caches named after characters from the movie "Office Space".  Seven caches in all, in an area of Memphis that doesn't see many caches.  I decided to hunt these caches on Sunday (1/18) because it was an empty day on my geocaching calendar and I'm slowly trying to complete a cache hunt for every day of the year.  With a find on this day, I completed the month of January.

For reference, here is a link to the first cache in this group that I found: Office Space: Joanna
by jdoz22 | GC5K24D.  All caches were nanos that were remarkably easy to find and were in goo shape (because they were new).

There were two other caches in the area I didn't go after.  One was a puzzle and the other had way too many muggles to attempt on this day.

GOWT Lecture Series Event 1 - 1/11/2015

I went over to Cameron Brown Park in Germantown, TN today to attend a discussion on what cachers carry with them on geocaching trips.

The event was hosted by itcomagic and godzirra! and lasted about two hours.  It was interesting to see what they carried in a relatively small pack.  I used to carry more stuff with me, but now am lucky to have my first aid kit handy when I need it.  In the winter, I carry whatever supplies I can round up in the pockets of my jacket.   In warmer weather, I seldom get out to caches where I would need tools to retrieve.

All in all, it was a good time in spite of the chilly temperatures.
