5:30 PM Geocaching
I went geocaching in the afternoon and found 2 caches:
* GC1TC6X - Geckos in Paradise - Kamuela Anakala
* GC6F0C - Life is But a Dream
These were my first two caches in the state of Hawaii. The first one was also the furthest west (from the Prime Meridian) of all the caches that I have found: W 157° 49.401. Keep in mind that the maximum possible is W180°. I have now found caches in 9 different states - not too impressive, but one more than I had before.
