My first successful geocaching trip took place to a small forest near a small town I live close to called Tapiola. I had gone to two unsuccessful geocaching trips before, and I felt that this one might be a faliure too, but you know what they say, "third time's the charm". I took my moped as close to the location as I could get, and as soon as I parked, I took out my GPS device and inserted the co-ordinates. I wandered around the forest trying to see ideal places for the container to be hidden, sometimes going way too far before the GPS had time to refresh itself, or simply wandering very close to where the cache was. After walking past a certain tree more than once, I decided that it deserved a look. I saw an old piece of brick and I thought that this was a good place to look. I moved it out of the way and sure enough, I saw the blue edge of the plastic container. The container was also hidden with some bark that had come off the tree, and suffice to say, I was quite happy that I actualy found the cache.
The items in the cache were a logbook, a
travel bug, a magnifying glass and a pencil. I used the pencil to mark down my visit and I closed and re-hid the container in the same place for the next geocacher to find. I left the cache feeling very pleased with myself as I had a few doubts about actualy finding the cache in the first place. I have decided that the next cache I'm visiting is going to be in the nearby town of Otaniemi, which is located near the coast of the Baltic Sea.
