Today I did my very first GEOCACHE hike! I dragged my husband along. He had fun- I think. He puts up with me well. Me and my "bright ideas". He was thinking a half mile walk on the beach. Not a 2 mile hike up a winding hill. But he had his camera and took lots of pictures of birds, bunnies and bugs. He has to convert them so I can access them to put here. He converted a few for so I could put them up today.

Before I left I collected a couple things to leave in the cache. A big Butterfly Paperclip and a Die in a Die- a 10 sided in a clear 10 sided die- really fun. I came down from getting my jacket and the die was gone and in it's place was a handful of colored pencils. Ki said he thought we should keep the die (or is it dice if it is 2 in 1?) and he found some extra colored pencils I can give them instead.


"Hmmmmmm. It's a little farther than I thought."


"If we cut right through there we can get there sooner" (what's a couple little ravines? we can make it)


"I FOUND IT!!!"


Filling out the Cache Log.



My husband who is good at going along with my crazy ideas.

It's when you go hunting for a treasure that someone hid by using a GPS unit. I believe you have to put the treasure back for the next person. right?!

This is awesome.  I might have to try this with my family.

Yes. There is a Worldwide website www.geocaching.com  you put in your sipcode (or the zipcode of where you will be traveling) and it gives a ist of GPS oordinates. We use our Garmi/GPS and plug in the coordinates and go find it. Once yu get to the spot you have to look around GPS isn't 100% accurate and can be off,  plus it's usually hidden. If you take a trinket from the box, you are to leave a trinket in return.

Geocaching is so fun! I don't have a GPS, but my sister does. Her and her hubby go all the time. I've been with her a few times. I hate it when you can't find the darn box tho. We've been to one spot 3 times and still can't find it. But it's cool when you find litte "treasures"!
