Dear H-Town

Dear H-Town,

During my vacation to Los Angeles, I had the very cool experience of taking a night hike in the Santa Monica Mountains. On its own the hike was amazing. However, I was introduced to a modern age worldwide treasure hunt called GeoCaching. Basically, people place containers called “geocaches” all over the world and log their latitude and longitude location to be found using a GPS. We found one on our hike (see below) and I was hooked.

When I got back to H-Town I signed up at Geocaching.com and also bought their iPhone app. Last night, I tried it out while I was driving and found a GeoCache tied to a light pole. No treasure in it, but it did have a log book marked with hundreds of previous treasure hunters. For someone like me this is a great activity. Hiking is fun once in a while, but hiking with a goal of finding a treasure that is accomplished using my iPhone, now that is an adventure.

Dear H-Town,

I am back from my Blogcation. Had an amazing trip to Los Angeles and there is so much to write about. I am dedicating this week to writing about some of my fantastic experiences. This is one of the more active vacations I have had in a while and I am exhausted. Luckily, I am back at work tomorrow so rest will have to wait. Anyway, it is good to be back in H-Town. Below is a list of things I did during my blogcation and I hope to write in more detail about some of them.

Went Snorkeling
Swam in the ocean
Explored Tide pools
Went Spelunking
Went to Six Flags (almost tossed)
Saw “Funny People” (really enjoyed despite reviews)
Saw musical “Spamalot” (Hilarious)
Ate at PAT’S (Very disappointing)
Saw Fast & Furious (Fun)
Went night hiking and Geocaching (Amazing)
Saw friends and family (The best part)
Had Coffeee Bean (Yum)

RELAXED RELAXED RELAXED

That was my blogcation! It was good. Miss the fam.

Dear H-Town,

I am on a blogcation and an actual vacation. However, I will try to post a few things while I am away. I had an amazing night hike last night and was exposed to something called GeoCaching which I will expose my fellow H-Towners to. Right now I am looking out a hotel room overlooking the La Jolla coves as the sun goes down. I have met up with some good old friends and have been reinspired to pursue some of my personal quests. So, all in all this has been a good vacation and it is not over yet. So, I hope to fill you in when I return and maybe I will drop a post or two while I am gone.

Dear H-Town-
