Five years later

Today, Tuesday January 3rd, it’s five years since we found our first geocache! The very first one we found, was GC2EGZQ Bjørgene 1 # 34, we’ve found a few more since then…

We did the exact same thing this year, as we’ve done every year since we started. We celebrated our “birthday” with an event.

So how did this start?

Below is a message, in Norwegian, between Heltinnen and myself, after I discovered geocaching (and after a couple of hours already had registered on geocaching.com and purchased a premium membership, stickers and log book for our first cache and the app).

It starts with Heltinnen asking if this is something we can do on a regular basis, or just now and then. I simply reply “let’s see”.

It’s safe to say that we’ve done a a quite bit more than “now and then”! In fact, we use so much time on this hobby, that some people think we’re crazy. The rest know we are.

We’ve made a short film about our first five years as geocachers.

Geohoot

After showing the film at the event, we had a “Geohoot” (Geocaching-Kahoot). Apparently TFTC may also mean “Thanks for the Cable”…

Cakes

And no birthday without cakes and sweets!
And we also had a small “thomfre & Heltinnen Museum”.

Thank you!

We’ve seen, experienced and learnt so much in the five years we’ve done this. It’s mind-blowing how much we’ve done.

A huge thanks to everyone that in some way helped to make all this possible. Without your cache hide, your help, your guidance, your awesome logs on our hides, your awesomeness and your involvement in this activity – we couldn’t have done all this!

We’re looking forward to the next five years, filled with more craziness and fun! And we made sure to end the day with another cache find in the dark 😉
