Tonight, at 7:50pm, we found our 50th geocache! It was a nano called The Lone Pine (GC181Z4).
2007 was our first year of geocaching, and we've had a ball. So far we've made finds in NSW, ACT, and Victoria. Early next year we should be able to add Queensland to the list as well. We still have a couple of DNFs that we need to revisit and hopefully find! Our geocaching New Year's resolution is to aim to have at least 200 finds by the end of the year. Now that we've added a proper GPSr, and have a bit of know-how under our belts, hopefully this won't be too unrealistic.
Our geocaching career began on 20th May, when we found Little Beach (GCTZ15). Since then, we've found caches in trees, under rocks, in lightposts, fire hydrants, artillery pieces, PVC pipes, and fenceposts. Although adding to our tally of finds is nice, we have really enjoyed seeing places that we wouldn't have gone to if it wasn't for geocaching. These include places close to home, and also further afield that we've visited while on holidays.
Our geocaching hitlist for 2008 includes our DNFs for this year, the Royal National Park, and a walking tour of our local caches. We've also got a cache stocked and ready to hide, as well as a number of empty micro containers. Ms S will also search with Cupcake for one which is hidden in the graveyard at their workplace.
We're looking to open our account for 2008 with a find on 1st January. There are a couple of candidates located nearby. Hopefully we'll start 2008 on a successful note!

It looks like you have your priorities in order. We hope to hit 200 finds by the end of the year (tomorrow). We have three to go, but both have terrible colds. Will it happen??? When we sit down together to review the highlights of the past year, geocaching will top the list. It's brought a lot of enjoyment to our lives. Cache on!
