Part 4 (the final part of this series) finishes off our second day of Geocaching in March (March 12, 2023), and then transitions into what was supposed to be our third day (March 19, 2023). Charlie and Simon were unable to join me on that third day due to a family situation. There are a total of three finds in this video. #geocaching #fun

Charlie, Simon, Dakota, and I go Geocaching for one last time, at least for now. I have retired from my position at the university and I am traveling to Uganda, where I will be for up to a year. This is our last Geocaching video series together until I return. This part (the third of three) highlights our attempts to find our last Geocache of the day. The sun has set, and we find it in the dark. We have a lot of fun finding this one! #geocaching #fun

After picking greens from the garden and showing me how to sort through them (see the previous episode), Sharon (my Ugandan wife) prepares and serves me oboo, a sauce popular among people in her tribe (Alur). #africa #food #interracialcouple #sauce

I came to Uganda from Michigan last year and married Sharon, who is Ugandan. Sharon and I recently did a video ("I can stay longer in Uganda") announcing that I am able to stay longer in Uganda after getting my visa extended. This video is our response to some of the questions and comments that we received from that video on another platform. #visa #uganda #africa #immigration

We all downloaded the Geocaching App, which allows you to find millions of hidden outdoor objects all over the world!! Join us for our first video adventure!

I'm preparing for another exciting day of Geocaching (October 8, 2022) as the weather is starting to get colder.

We’re very close to finding a micro (tiny) geocache on a fence! #geocache #fun

Not everything that gets recorded makes the Final Cut. Watch an extended version of a previously poster bloopers/outtakes video! #geocaching #bloopers #outtakes #fun

Sharon visits the monkeys at the Entebbe Zoo in Uganda. #monkey #zoo

I decide to look for a Geocache a couple of days after a sleet/ice storm. I don't find the first one I look for, but I do manage to slip and fall while recording. I try to find three more in a small park the next day. #geocaching #icestorm #snow

Charlie, Dakota and I head out in early April to look for more Geocaches. Simon is unable to join us because he had to work, but he will join us later in the day. We set a goal to find 12 Geocaches today, which would be a daily record for us. The most we have ever found in one day is 11. Will we find all 12? This is the first of three parts showing the first four finds: one on a crosswalk over a busy street, and three at one of the areas malls. #geocaching #fun

This video highlights several solo Geocaching "adventures" I went on in April and May. Well, they were not all actually solo. A friend joined me for the third "adventure." The first two "adventures" are in the Kalamazoo, Michigan area and the second two are in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area. The video ends with "bonus" videos of Charlie, Simon, Dakota, and I attending the Motor City Comic-Con. #geocaching #fun

Sharon picks greens from a nearby garden and attempts to show Bobby how to sort through them in preparation for making a traditional sauce from her tribe (Alur). The sauce is known as aboo.

We recorded a second version of Episode 5. We debated about which introduction we liked better and decided that we liked the other one better. So, this version is the "alternative" version.

Not everything that gets recorded makes the final cut. Watch the first bloopers/outtakes video for “Geocaching with Bob, Charlie, and Simon!”

Here's the second part of Charlie and Simon's grandmother (Elly) joining us for Geocaching! It's a cold day (December 17, 2022), and winter-like conditions have finally arrived. Elly slipped on the ice after our first find. but we don't yet realize that she fractured her elbow when she fell. #geocaching #snow

This is a video my friend Chris sent me of him skiing in the woods during a major snowstorm in Mt. Pleasant, MI. The storm occurred on February 22, 2023.

This was in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan on February 27, 2023 when 3-4 inches of snow fell in just one hour. The video was taken by my friend Chris. #snow #driving #michigan

It was an interesting week of Geocaching, as the temperatures were warm but the snow remained on the ground. Simon was unable to join us, but Dakota returned for the fourth time. March 5, 2023 (Part 1). #geocaching #snow

Part 3 finishes off our first day of Geocaching in March (March 5, 2023), and then transitions into our second day (March 12, 2023). Simon is again unable to go Geocaching with us on the second day, but joins us briefly before going to work. #geocaching #fun

Charlie, Dakota and I head out in early April to look for more Geocaches. We set a goal to find 12 Geocaches today, which would be a daily record for us. The most we have ever found in one day is 11. This is the third of three parts showing our last finds of the day, starting with #9. Will we find all 12? You'll have to watch to find out! Simon joins us near the end of the video. #geocaching #fun

Charlie, Simon, Dakota, and I go Geocaching for one last time, at least for now. I have retired from my position at the university and I am traveling to Uganda, where I will be for up to a year. This is our last Geocaching video series together until I return. This part (the second of three) highlights our attempts to find our second and third Geocaches of the day. The sun is starting to go down by the end of the video, so we we will be Geocaching in the dark in the next video (Part 3). #geocaching #fun

My wife is from the African tribe of Alur in Uganda. Watch as she gives me an Alur name!

My wife Sharon and I attended the Alur Cultural Festival at the Uganda Museum in Kampala, Uganda on December 12, 2023. We enjoyed celebrating Alur Culture, including the Agwara and Ndara dances (which are shown in this video). Sharon is an Alur by tribe.

My wife Sharon and I talk about becoming born-again Christians when we were teenagers living on opposite sides of the world (Sharon in Uganda and me in America.
