Our first geocache attempt (Mud Volcano Cache #GC16BJJ in Azerbaijan) was a bust or in geocaching terms a DNF (did not find).  But we had a good day, saw some beautiful sights and found what we think would be a great location for a cache near the entrance to the petroglyphs.  Hopefully our cache containers and goodies will arrive around the same time as the GPS and that way we’ll be able to place a cache AND finda cahce on our next trip to Gobustan.  Stay tuned.

I ordered my GPS today.  After MUCH reading and pondering I decided on the Garmin eTrex H handheld.  I figured we’ll start with the basic unit and if we really get in to this “sport” and find we need more then we’ll upgrade. 

Oh, and after I told Scott I ordered the unit he asked which one and looked it up.  His reply “Oh, that’s the same one I have.”  Hmm, I wonder why he didn’t tell me that sooner!  I thought that his GPS was the watch that he wears when he runs.  Guess not!

We are starting this blog site as an online journal of our adventures while geocaching.  This is a new hobby for us so check back to see how we are doing.  We are currently living overseas and hope to discover many treasures in the next few years.  Our goal when we return to the states is to find at least one cache in each of the 50 states.  What a wonderful way to get out, explore and see the country/world.

We are sjsmart on geocaching.com.  Hope to see you on the trails.
