About Me.....Charlene/Diamond Mom

I started my teaching career in the early 80’s as an elementary music teacher in Campbell River, BC, Canada. My husband also taught music until he retired in June 2011. Although I enjoy music and still continue to co-direct Pacifica Ukes, our honor ukulele groups, I currently teach late primary grades and I have been doing this for almost 20 years.

I was introduced to the sport of geocaching in 2008 and I immediately fell in love with it. I had lived in Campbell River since 1979, but I had never really explored the area. With geocaching I discovered many wonderful trails, parks and hidden lakes and other gems that I never knew existed in my backyard. Since getting started, I have looked for geocaches in many different areas of British Columbia, Alberta, Hawaii, and South Korea. I have also hidden many geocaches for others to find. My geocaching handle is Diamond Mom because I search for hidden treasures and I am a mom. I now go by that name when looking for new adventures.
