Day 32 of 100

What is there to do in Elizabeth City?  Nothing.  Unless you have a GPS.

Since June of 2007, Corey has been an active geocacher.  
"What is geocaching?" you ask.  Simply, it is a scavenger hunt with longitude and latitude coordinates.

Someone hides a "cache," records its location, and then posts it on the geocaching website.  You plug the coordinates into a GPS (or geocahing app in my husband's case),which will get you within about 15 feet of the cache.

Average size for a cache is a military ammo box.  Corey, being an advanced geocacher, has already found most of the larger caches in our area.  So we are typically on a search for minis, which are just that- very small caches.

Spoiler alert for all EC geocachers!
Today we went geocaching with Jason and Teri Woolard.

We went to a cache Corey and Jason had previously looked for, but failed.  We looked for some time and then Corey finally found it.


It was a bolt that had been hollowed out and attached with a matching nut to the guard rail.


Whoa.
