First day caching

After the dismal weekends weather of snow and rain, today was gloriously sunny so I put on some sunscreen (yes it was that hot and sunny) and Kristen chauffeured me around Dublin as I went and did 6 or 7 caches in the area that I had not done yet. Had a great time and saw some really nice areas and artwork. Pictures will follow on the geocaching website when I upload them from the camera. It was quite amusing to see that people had been to a lot of the caches after I had been and at one cache, 3 sets of cachers had been unable to find it. However, the coordinates were quite a way out and I had a lot more experience than they had (put together). Some of the caches were in (huge) ammo boxes which meant I was able to pass on some of the travel bugs I had brought over from the states and others were in micro caches.
Had a great time and got over the withdrawal symptoms of going a week without caching.

I now have to get my hard disk installed in the computer so I can get my gsak database onto the computer I currently have access to. Speaking of which, GSAK got updated today and this new version fixes a bug I reported in the debug processing in the macros AND it also allows you to check a pop account for gpx files and process them automatically - that is an awesome feature.
