Geocaching is an outdoor treasure hunting game using a GPS. Basically, you navigate yourself to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location. The caches are listed on various websites, which also let you know how easy or hard they are to locate when you get to the coordinates. So, enter our rainy day tromp through the woods around Lacey.
This weekend, we set about locating a "Pink Princess" cache in a local park. I think the pictures tell the story the best....
Off we go through the woods. We wandered around for a bit trying to figure out the exact clues to get us near the cache.
Hmmm, is there something in this dead stump?
I don't know, let me look... Hey, there is something!
Hurry hurry, open it up!!!!!
The girls had so much fun in the woods looking for the cache, though the prize itself was a bit disappointing. We had fun learning about local mushrooms, the different trees, and all about moss - nature's carpet. So, our first geocache was a success, and left the girls asking to go on more "treasure hunts."
