Geocaching with Dan and Barbara

We took Dan and Barbara with us out looking for Geocaches yesterday. It was their first time to try this very popular hobby where people hide a "cache" and record the longitude and latitude whch they publish on Geocaching.com and everyone that finds it signs a log at the site and records their finding it. They also record the finding on the internet site so that the owners of the "cache" know that people have found it.

We looked for and found some in town and then headed out into the desert for a bit of excercise.

This cache is called Lady bug and as you can see on the rusted tin can there is a couple of lady bug plastic items attached to it. Inside there is a log book to record your visit.










Here we have found another cache and I am recording our visit to the site as Dan plots our next move from the printed pages that we took off of the internet site.










This photo shows the gals all decked out for a trip to the desert. This was not too far from town but was quite isolated. After leaving the pavement and taking the "trail" out to the cache area we had to travel through a lot of trash that people had hauled out to the desert. Surprising how much trash is just out of sight near our towns that does not go to the regular trash sites.

Dan had his eye on a set of matching couches that he felt had some life left in them. I won't tell what his wife had her eye on after a long trek through the desert!












Here Barbara and I pose at a cache. We look real proud of ourselves at our success! All in all we found a total of 6 caches.

It was a very fun day with a lot of laughs and a good time was had by all.

We suspect Dan and Barbara will be willing to go "Geocaching" with is again in the future!
