First Geocache.
Ok, so I'm going to go find my first cache. I log onto the website create a free account and take a look. To my surprise there is a cache right in my little town of Ceresco. So I load up the cache "Too small for doggy", cache code (GCW7E5), and head out. Following the compass pointer on my GPSr, I get to a back ally and find ground zero. Ground zero is the point that the cache placer has submitted as the cache location. The cache will usually be within feet of ground zero; however it can be up to 65 feet away. This discrepancy is due to differing accuracy of GPS receivers. Back to the story, I am at ground zero and looking around and I see this little wooden birdhouse. I go over to it and it opens and inside is a small peanut butter jar. The feeling of the find is like Christmas morning when you were a kid. I signed the log dropped of a plastic compass and put the cache back the way I found it. Now I had to find more...
