Geocaching

Al decided we would try our skill, or lack there of,  at geocaching. For those who don't know what geocaching is, it is a worldwide hide and seek treasure hunting type of game where at the minimum a logbook is in a hidden container for the finder to sign in. RVers enjoy this activity as well as lots of other folks. It's a great way to get outside and have some fun.

Today's geocache treasure was to have a bunch of pens with logos which when found we would leave one, take one. Are you getting my drift yet??? Was to....The geocache we were trying to locate is just one of at least 15 hidden in Ames Nowell State Park. With GPS in hand and an iPad, we were off. Cold weather be damned, we were on an adventure.

No sooner did we start down the chosen path, when the Mister with GPS said we were headed in the wrong direction, so we went down another path, and another... And another..this time we kept going, climbing over rocks and down. Hmm, think next time a day pack is in order. I need my hands free to be able to climb.

Wondering how close we were to the hidden treasure, I caught up to Al,  the look on  his face told me everything .. We weren't. We were actually walking away from the geocache. Hahaha. Well the GPS said it was an 8 minute walk .... It's been almost an hour. Time to turn back; freezing hands. Back at the truck the heat feels soo good.

Well no pay dirt this time. A few hearty laughs and a bunch of pics that I have yet to learn how to load onto the blog page. Oh and some good old exercise...
