Geocaching Adventures

If you have never tried geocaching, it is definitely something you should try! Jordan, Elizabeth, and Henry are here from Ohio, and we decided to take a group geocaching adventure. If you have never even heard of it, here is a brief explanation: You look up locations where geocaches are hidden. Then you use a GPS to help you find it. When you find it there is usually something in there that you can take as a souvenir, and you are supposed to leave something of your own. There is also a piece of paper in it that everyone who finds it is supposed to sign. Doing it in the rain is NOT part of the procedure...but that's what we did! The rain in Florence has been non-stop, and we were all getting tired of staying in the house. So we bundled up (even the kids) and set out on our trek.

Grant is ready to explore!

Yes, it was raining hard!

Jordan and Henry

The first one we found was hidden in a fake sprinkler head.

We are so proud of ourselves! The owner of the house behind us thought our large group was so funny (out in the rain) that he took a picture of us from his window.

Off to find the second one

This one was in a film-like canister tied to a tree.

It had a few treasures in it.

Mom and Elizabeth fill out our information on the paper.

Our second successful geocache! Next time we'll do it when it isn't raining!
