MY FIRST CACHE - WADI BIH

Having been introduced to Geocaching by CRA recently and helping to hide his first UAE-cache in the mountains at Dibba a few weeks ago (when we went on a Dhow Cruise), I decided to join the Geocachers in their hunt for fun and hide my own box. Being my first cache, I wanted it to be special and due to my nick-name, "Bee", I decided that Wadi Bih, on the border of UAE and OMAN, would be the ideal location for my "B"-box. The cache is hidden between the first and second border post of UAE/Oman.

Once a geocacher finds your box by using the coordinates given on the official website, he/she can take an item from the box. It's "custom" to replace an item taken with something else though. This will ensure that you don't end up finding an empty box whith the "find" being the only reward.

The "B"-box gave me an even better idea! I decided to have EVERYTHING in the box starting with the letter "B"!

The box contains these "B"-items (sorry, the GPS not included ;-)

Items not to be taken: Burgandy Logbook, Brown Jumeirah pen. Free to take: BMW toy car, Bugs Book, Barbie Pencil, - Sharpener and -Notebook, Blue Balloons, Blue BandAids, Burj Al Arab Fridge Magnet, Blue Bottle Masafi Water, "B"-ih Road Trip CD will song titles ALL starting with the letter "B"! If you're the first finder, I recommend the Road Trip CD! It's excellent!

Coordinates of my Wadi Bih cache can be found on the geocaching website, using reference number GCZ1T4
