Adventures in Geocaching – Bird Nest and The Devils Head
While visiting my sister on vacation I had the opportunity to tag along while she hid one of her geocaches.

Adventures in Geocaching – Maine
The first rule of geocaching is: You do not talk about geocaching. The second rule of geocaching is...... Just kidding. You can talk about geocaching. That's not a rule.

Lake Wassookeag – Dexter, Maine
My sister lives in the very small town of Dexter, Maine which has a population of less than 5000. The lake that is located there is fabulous - Lake Wassookeag.
