Geocaching: Check Out Rock City (Virtual Geocache)

Out geocaching with NCBiscuit, Carolina Trombone and Mclem829 and came across this virtual geocache known as Rock City. It is on Highway 86 about midway between Hillsborough, NC and Dansville, VA.

Someone made this amazing village out of stones and believe me when I say the pictures do not give it justice. Not only is there a very cool village but all the fencing around the owners house is made of the same materials. It is one of those sites you just have to see to believe.

HHH's Lunchtime GotD - It Will Be Sad To Leave The RTP

I only have a few more weeks in the Research Triangle Park near Durham, NC. I was very thankful for having my job here and with Geomagic. The geocaching has been a ton of fun and even though I took a chunk out of my area I still had quite a few left to find. Ahhh well. Now I get to look forward to our GotD finds to expand to the open road of the USofA and beyond. With the filming of Treasure Cache TV coming. You ain't seen nothing yet!

Treasure Cache TV Mini Pilot Released















Here we go! The wait is over and the Treasure Cache TV Mini Pilot has been released on our TCTV website. I know you have heard it before but it is true. I am so geeked about this and things are starting to really come together.

Be sure to stop by and take a look. It is a little over six minutes long and will give you just a taste of all the things that we will be having on the show itself. A teaser as it were.

So head on over to our website and by all means let me know what you think about it.

Treasure Cache TV

-Enjoy

HHH's Lunchtime GotD - Get Out And Geocache

I have been so busy lately that I sort of fell out of my lunchtime geocaching groove. Today the sun was shining and it was a sweet 85 degrees out. I had to get a find or go into withdrawals. This nicely done geocache was near an athletic field and about 50 feet in a nearby woods. A great walk in a very scenic setting. Good times.

Treasure Cache Mini Pilot Almost Ready For Release

Well folks I am so sorry for not getting nearly enough posts out this week. I have been concentrating on only the Treasure Cache TV show and that's about it. The mini pilot which we will be showing from our website http://www.treasurecachetv.com is pretty much done and I am waiting for final approval before letting it go live. The reason why I call it a mini pilot is because it will be about 6 1/2 minutes long. Just enough to give you a taste of what is going to be on the show. The actual pilot will be the full 30 minutes.

To help curb your waiting for a few more hours here is the finished title sequence which leads into the show itself. I hope you enjoy it.



So much more to come so keep checking the sites frequently for the latest information.

HHH's Lunchtime GotD - Taking The Long Road

The Great American Tobacco Trail is 22 miles long and is a part of a much larger trail known as the East Coast Greenway which is 2600 miles long. The ECG connects Key West, Florida with the Canadian border. Needless to say there is a bevy of geocachers along the way. Found today's geocache while on a lunchtime walk.

HHH's Lunchtime GotD - Sweet Little Bison Tube

There is just so much going on. I left for my normal geocaching stomping grounds and then realized I missed the exit two times over - doh.

Thinking way to much about Treasure Cache TV. It is very possible that I will be on the road full time in just a few weeks. That means my Lunchtime GotD is going to be spread over a rather vast area, like the whole US of A.

Stay tuned and be sure to check out the website and sign up to our Twitter and Facebook pages.

Now for a chicken wrap.

Where in the World is Pete the Parrot? The Black Forest















Oh this is so awesome.

My buddy Pete the Parrot who is THE true party animal has been hanging around Europe for quite some time. Well now he is partying in The Black Forest of Unterbraend.

A geocacher, EinHaufchenSand, took these photos when he visited the geocache that Pete is currently residing in.

I don't know about you but I want to go geocaching in the Black Forest.

HHH's Lunchtime GotD - Logbook Has Seen Better Days

This geocache logbook has been around for a while and needs to be replaced. Unfortunately I used my last logbook on another geocache so I was out.

Will leave a note to the owner.

HHH's Lunchtime GotD - Sweet Little Cache

Yeah it really felt good finding geocaches again. Work has been just crazy and most of the time I didn't have time for lunch. So getting out on such a pretty day made just that sweeter.

Found this one quickly and off now for a sub for lunch.

Lotsa Treasure Cache TV Stuff Being Set Up - Useful Information

























Hoo-boy are we starting to get the Treasure Cache TV show in gear.

Here are some highlights... The pilot is currently being shot over the next week or two and I will be busy editing in between. I filmed Maingray's family at Eno River State Park earlier in the week and they did a really great job.

I will be filming the Fraygirls family this week in Wilmington, NC by the ocean so if you can pry me away from there long enough to do some editing will be a good thing. Just look for the big guy in the Hawaiian shirt ;)

The new website for Treasure Cache should be up tomorrow (Saturday). It won't be the final but at least it will be a functioning site. That's more I get to add to my list of things to do. The new URL will be http://www.treasurecachetv.com

We now have a working Facebook page up for the show. Please be sure to make your self a fan by clicking the "Like" button. You can go there here:

We have a new Treasure Cache twitter account @treasurecachetv be sure to get yourself signed up there too because all the contest information, inside information and you will be able to follow us as we travel around the country via those areas. Make sure you sign yourselves up or you will be missing out on all the background goodness.

That's about it for now. I hope to fill you in on all the stuff you have been waiting for about the show soon. Believe me the second I have it you will know :)

BTW - If you know of National Parks and State Parks in your area that either have geocaches or have geocaches near them and want to be on Treasure Cache TV, please email me the following:

  • Who you are - Real Name and Geocaching alias
  • The location and information about the Park we would be exploring
  • How many people in your group, family, etc.
  • Contact information - phone, email, etc.
  • Why that area would be a great place to geocache.


We are looking for local geocachers and places all across the US for starters and you folks know best! We will be on the road soon so please get your ideas in as soon as possible.

HHH's Lunchtime GotD - Second To Find Ain't Shabby



















Ahh, there is nothing like the thrill of a geocaching FTF hunt.

The adrenaline gets a pump'in and you do everything that you can from driving recklessly on the road as you move toward those clean sheetz. Which is exactly what happened today as I left my office for today's Lunchtime Geocache of the Day. My email sounded and I noticed a new published find only 3.4 miles from where I was. Tally Ho!

Off I drove, my palms sweaty on the wheel and as I drove up to ground zero I knew I missed it by a few seconds because there was Moncure Bee Dude signing the log on the hood of his truck.

So I drive up and yelled, "Missed it by that much".

He looked up and smiled.

After a brief conversation I asked if he wouldn't mind standing in for a photo which you can see he did quite nicely. It was great to see him again. Which is why the geocaching community is so very special. You never know who you are going to bump into or when but whoever it is there is always a smile and a handshake waiting.

Now for a hot ham and cheese sandwich. Num.

HHH's Lunchtime GotD - Seeing Double - Again...



















Nope, this is not a copy of my Friday Lunchtime Geocache of the Day find. There are actually more of these Upstairs, Downstairs speed limit signs.

This one had a magnetic bison tube to greet me. Signed the log and hurried back to my car for a nice ride to a chicken wrap with spicy sauce - yum.
