The Slot Cache

When we learned that we were going to visit the Slot in Anzo_Borrego State Park, we did some checking and found out that there was a Geocache located there so we added it to our to do list and headed out.

Here Neal is taking the rocks off of the cache after finding it.






The cache was an amunition can which is used by a lot of caches as they are waterproof when they are closed. This one held a number of trade items and cards from people who had found it as well as the normal log for us to find.









Here Dan is signing the log since he has now listed with Geocaching.com and is an official member.

We were very pleased with our GPS unit which allows me to download the information directly to it from my computer making it very easy. Then you tell the gps unit to find that cache and it points to it and tells you how far you are from it.

The problem we find out here is that the direct way is not available and you have to take roundabout routes to get accross the ravines and other obstructions.

This photo was taken from the cache site and it would be hard for anyone seeing it to realize that it was a trek of about one half mile back down into the canyon, then down the canyon to the junction with the main canyon, then back up the canyon to the area to climb out and return to the car! Lots of panting and some stopping for rests by the time we arrived at the car!

All in all, it was a great outing and we all had a ball!
