Things that bite!!!

The are out there. Your turn over a rock and there they are - scorpions, spiders, ants, snakes and other little crawlies. What they are really doing is hiding from the sunshine. Waiting for their next meal. They don't want to hurt you - injecting venom uses up energy. Bites and stings to larger creatures (like humans) are a self-defense mechanism. Why would the want to use up all that energy unless their lives are in danger? But they do have a nasty habit of living under stones and in near little holes, which indecently are exactly where most geocaches are hidden! There are things that could bite while doing a geocaching tour in Africa, we discovered this little rock scorpion at our latest find. Take care out there. Turn rocks over carefully and always away from you.

Holidays....

It's creeping closer. Christmas is coming. Holiday season is almost upon us. What's on your wish list this year?
Maybe a new GPS to make finding those elusive hides more exciting. This time of year has always been about spending more time with family and loved ones.

Are you one of those lucky ones who are going travelling? The weather is now perfect for caching and safaris. Even more fun when somebody else is doing all the driving and hard work for you.

Another interesting link I found is Cache Face. A group of like minded people chatting about their favourite hobby.
