YESTERDAY WE WENT GEOCACHING. FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW, IT'S GOING AROUND A FINDING HIDDEN ITEMS. AND THEN ONCE YOU FIND THEM YOU ARE ABLE TO ADD YOUR NAME TO THE PAPER SAYING YOU FOUND THE ITEM.
IT REALLY IS A LOT OF FUN AND A GREAT WAY TO SPEND TIME ON AN ADVENTURE WITH YOUR FAMILY. WE REALLY ENJOYED IT, AND WILL BE DOING IT MORE IN THE FUTURE.
SO WE STARTED OUT. WE PLUGGED THE FIRST COORDINATES INTO THE GPS AND AWAY WE WENT. IT LED US TO A LIGHT POLE IN A WAL-MART PARKING LOT.
IT ONLY TOOK EVAN A SECOND TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THIS ONE WAS HIDING.
Can you see the hidden container in the picture?
HERE'S A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS WONDEROUS CONTAINER....AND THE YOUNG MAN WHO FOUND IT.
AFTER OPENING THE SECRET CONTAINER, WE REMOVE THE LIST OF NAMES OF ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY FOUND THIS TRINKET AND ADD OUR NAMES.
WE RETURN THIS PRIZE TO ITS ORIGINAL LOCATION AND TAKE OFF FOR THE NEXT TREASURE.
AFTER A SHORT DRIVE, OUR GPS LEADS US TO AN OLD PATCH OF WOODS JUST OUTSIDE OF TOWN. WE DITCH THE TRUCK, AND TAKE OFF ON FOOT. AFTER ENTERING THE WOODS WE ARE AMAZED TO SEE, THERE'S ACTUALLY A CEMETARY IN THIS GROWN UP PATCH OF FOREST.
AS YOU CAN SEE, IT HAS BEEN NEGLECTED FOR QUITE SOME TIME. AND AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES EXAMINING THESE OLD TOMBSTINES, WE WERE CONTINUED OUR SEARCH FOR OUR NEXT HIDDEN TREASURE. IT WAS GETTING DARK SO WE NEEDED TO HURRY.
THIS OME WAS ALSO FOUND PRETTY QUICKLY BY MR. EAGLE EYES EVAN. IT WAS ATTACHED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE FENCE SURROUNDING THE CEMETARY.
WE RUSHED TO OPEN IT AND ADD OUR NAMES, TRYING TO BEAT THE SETTING SUN.
EVAN ACCIDENTALLY BROKE THE PIECE THAT HELD IT TO THE FENCE. SO WE WROTE OUR NAMES AND I FIXED IT. WE REATTACHED IT AND HURRIED OUT OF THE WODS BACK TO THE TRUCK.
WHAT AN EXCITING ADVENTURE, AND ONE I WOULD RECOMMEND TO ALL OF YOU GREAT PEOPLE TO GIVE A TRY. HAVE ANY OF YOU WONDERFUL STEEMIANS EVER DONE ANYTGING LIKE THIS? IF SO LET ME KNOW DOWN BELOW.
