Fun Day in the Desert

We decided to combine two destinations in one trek today.

As shown on the sign we elected to go on a hike to the Pesidio Santa Cruz de Terrenate ruins. On the way to the ruins we were searching for a geocache that we found on geocaching.com.

Fortunately we did not see any venomous creatures! Did see some tracks that they left on the trail though!


We had no trouble finding the geocache this time! The gps took us directly to the site about a mile or so into our hike. This is a picture of the cache for those who have never seen one. It is an amunition can under the rocks. It holds the log and a bunch of items to trade. (Deck of cards, CD of songs, plastic soldiers, key chains, etc.) The search and the find is the fun of the deal.


This picture is of the beginning of the trip and as you can see Barbara is ready to go and has the equipment to make a successful search! She has her gps and hiking stick (as well as mine!) and her hiking boots on. The jacket was too much soon into the trip.

Lots of fun but a lot of exertion of effort!
