Come join us for our 3 Year Cache-iversary!
Three years ago, I brought the family up to Big Bear for a short getaway weekend for Tina's birthday.
On our last day, we were having breakfast at the Grizzly Manor Cafe. A family next to us mentioned and told us about Geocaching. They told us about the cache Will E. Makeit http://coord.info/GC15JG4 that was inside the cafe! We asked the waitress about it, and she brought it to our table. We checked out all the swag inside and saw the log. We sign it The Corpus Family. We officially signed it CacheKidz! the following year we returned and attended our first Big Bear Cache Bash.
About 45 minutes after getting home later that day, Tina yells to me from the other room, OK! We're signed up! I responded by asking, to what?
GEOCACHING! Oh, OK I said.
Tina and my daughter are almost sorry they did that.
After the 1st 3 geocaches we found on our way to Tina's parents in Thousand Oaks we were hooked.
Wherever we went shopping or out anywhere, we checked for geocaches in the area. There were a couple nights that we didn't get home until 3:00am!
But the thing that has really kept us going, is not only has it taken us to places we would have never gone before, but we have made some awesome friends and met some incredible people.
We returned to Big Bear in 2011 and 2012 for the Big Bear Cache Bash
and of course stayed the weekend.
It gave us another reason to make it an annual trip.
Since Badgerdawg & Mandy's Mom decided to take the summer off, the family was disappointed there wasn't going to be an event in Big Bear and we probably would not be going.
What better incentive to return to Big Bear than to make a committment of having an event!
Nothing elaborate. Just a chance to meet old and new geocachers. Share stories and discover or exchange Travel Bugs.
And hopefully lure....I mean give some of our SFV Geocaching friends a reason to come up here too!
Oh, and yes a cake to celebrate our GeoCache-iversary.
