In planning our vacation, I created [...]

This weekend was a quick trip to Mexico for an adventure race hosted by Equinox.The trip down from San Diego was a little longer than the expected 2.5 hours at a whopping 6 hours!!! Seems like a lot of people head to Mexico on Saturday morning…The little village of La Bufadora was a welcome surprise [...]

I just spent 4 weeks in South Africa (and nearby countries Zimbabwe and Botswana) for a vacation. And of course….football!!!
It all started at New Years Eve 2009…when I was looking at the new year about to start and thought “what adventure are we going to have in 2010?” I started to surf the web and [...]
Welcome to the latest geocaching tool that we have added to our arsenal…Watson the geodog!
Dogs can be great as helpful geocaching tools because:
They have great smell to sniff out the box underneath a rock
They have great hearing to alert you when a muggle is coming around the corner
They are man’s best friend so you can [...]
Hooray – we just got back from the World Cup 2010 tournament in South Africa.
We had a great time…and more will come, but loading up this little video of just the football fun we had.
You might even see us playing a vuvuzela….but we deny all knowledge of this publicly.
PS: We even went geocaching too in [...]

The event was put together by Team Equinox (Steve & Jake) where they had spent long hours thinking [...]
This week has been quite an adventure for our geocaching! We managed to get our 1000th geocache AND finished the Black Mountain Hall of Fame geocache series!
The ones that are not smiley faces are actually not active or are geocaches we have placed….so this is the complete Black Mountain Series.
It started a couple of months [...]

OMG I just did my first triathlon today! I am on such a buzz – it was amazing!
I signed up 4 weeks ago (yeah I’m not much of a long term planner for these things) after hiking with all these guys that kept talking about all of the triathlons they’ve done. It made it seem [...]

First time out at night, first time really trying to read and use topo maps. We got all the points, but have to say our trusty guide, Barrie, helped a lot!

Another fun filled weekend for Bangers & Mash. This time it was the Urban Dare race held in San Diego. The weather held out to be a lovely sunny day. We all met in Maloney’s Bar in the underground section – quite odd to be in the dark in the beautiful sunshine.
It was a BIG turnout [...]
