Baldy Death March

Posted by: Steph on August 5th, 2008

Last Thursday, the Ski Boy and I, while still in Sun Valley, decided to do a geocache atop 9,000 ft. Mt. Baldy - the ski resort mountain. We chair lifted our way to the top - it’s such a long haul that two different chair lifts are required.
We had a fabulous lunch at the top […]

In Truckee

Posted by: Steph on July 20th, 2008

Today was a typical epic travel day from Anchorage to just about anywhere in the Lower 48. The Ski Boy dropped me off at the Anchorage Airport this morning at 6:30 AM. I pulled up to the always fabulous Cedar Sport Hotel in Truckee, CA at 7:00 PM this evening. The only thing I’d eaten […]

Golden Gate Geocaching

Posted by: Steph on June 25th, 2008

It’s been a whirlwind week. The Ski Boy and I arrived home from the Bay Area very late last Tuesday night. I turned around and got back on a plane Sunday afternoon to wing my way south to Portland for business.
So, as I type I’m in Portland. It’s been twenty years since I’ve been here […]

500 Geocaches!!!!!

Posted by: Steph on June 8th, 2008

I’m a bit late getting this posted, but two weeks ago, while we were in Seattle, I snagged my 500th geocache!!!! It’s a big time milestone - either that or yet another example of my extremely geekiness.
Based on a suggestion from my buddy Scott, Peter and I decided to do the 500th via kayak. So, […]

Geocaching and Dalai Lama

Posted by: Steph on April 12th, 2008

This afternoon, The Ski Boy and I headed down to the Qwest Field parking lot and then over to Chinatown to snag a few geocaches. Guess who was also at Qwest Field? Yup, His Holiness The Dalai Lama. Of course, His Holiness wasn’t geocaching. He was speaking to a crowd of 50,000 people as part […]

Anniversary Trek

Posted by: Steph on August 16th, 2007

Saturday was glorious. So, Peter, Tyge and myself decided to celebrate the first anniversary of the Slat Rat-Ski Boy nuptials by doing an epic hike-geocaching expedition up Arctic Valley and Mt. Gordon Lyon.
We were rewarded with one of our best outings ever. Although, it was sooooo hot. And I did not bring enough water. The […]

A Tygey Pic

Posted by: Steph on July 7th, 2007

And now, just for Frankie: Tyge!
This picture was taken on a sunny evening a few weeks ago when Tygey and I were Geocaching at Earthquake Park. What you don’t see in the picture are the 10,000 blood sucking mosquitoes that were moments away from attacking us.
Tyge really does hate to have his picture taken. Hence […]

A Low Key But Very Enjoyable, Fourth

Posted by: Steph on July 4th, 2007

The Ski Boy, Tyge, and I had a relaxing day - although I was definitely further out on the relaxed spectrum than Tyge and Peter. They rolled out of bed at 8:00 AM to head off with their buddies on an early Independence Day run. I routed out in time for coffee at 10:30 AM.
This […]

A Glorious Summer Day

Posted by: Steph on June 16th, 2007

Wow! It doesn’t get much better than today. Especially for us sun and summer starved Alaskans. The official high was 73 degrees - which may not sound like much to folks elsewhere, but for us it’s a really big deal. Summer, sun, warmth, everything. Downtown Anchorage was packed: Summer Solstice Festival, Juneteenth, three cruise ships […]

A Florida Geocaching Diversion

Posted by: Steph on March 10th, 2007

It was a gorgeous day here in Sarasota: 84 degrees and not at all muggy. A vast improvement over Anchorage’s high of 19 degrees. And definitely quite a bit warmer than the sub-zero temperatures along the Yukon stretch of the Iditarod.
This afternoon, Peter and I drove Alix up to the Tampa airport for her flight […]
