My Sister and D

My sister and her fiance D came down on Sunday for dinner. Since we went on our trip to Vegas, she is hooked on caching so after dinner we decided to go find a multiply cache in the Springville Cemetery (sorry no pictures). We had a blast walking around the small cemetery and finding headstones. After finding all the stones, D looked in the spot where the cache was hidden but totally over looked it. Good thing we were there or he'd never have found it.
After finding the multiply, we decided to go find a cache that has foiled us in the past. Once we got to the High School, I told my sister were to look and up she climbed. Good thing she was there or else we would never have fun it. (I'm not as young and limber as I used to be!)

I'm so glad that they got to come down and spend some time with us. I sure do love them!

Happy Father's Day!

My hubby is so great! He works super hard so that I can stay home, he does without, and he never (hardly never) complains! For Father's Day he got homemade ravioli, a new pair of shorts, and a geocaching trip! I don't know if he likes to cache was much as I do but I think he likes to get out and see nature! We decided to go find a couple of the Lord of the Rings caches. It took a little while to find how to get to Gimili and Frodo but after putting the Jeep into 4 wheel we made it.
Gimli was easy. Just sitting under a tree. The cache was full of water, which shows you just how carefully you need to be when putting caches back. Make sure the closed securely!

Frodo was just south of Gimli but my GPS was freaking out so it took a little while to find it. Once my GPS settled down, I found it with no problem! Just like the beginning of the LOTR movie, Frodo was sitting under a tree.

After finding Gimli and Frodo, we drove down the road and found Elrond. Like the others, Elrond was resting just off the road under a tree. This one was an easy find but the cottonwood trees were dropping their fluff and I was sneezing the rest of the night.

This is usually how the hubby and lil G geocache. They sit in the car while I jump out and find it.

We finally got out to find another on of the Lord of the Rings Caches. This was our first elf. Arwen was hidden just off a trail by the river. My GPS was a little off but after widening my search area, we found it! We left a tracking bug and took a smiley face ring. This one was fun because lil G got to walk around the trail but he wanted to get down by the river with me so the hubby had his hands full trying to keep him on the trail!

Fair Arwen!

#3 in 5 of my 1/2 hour run. This one was by a fenced in baseball field. I decided that I was either going to be on the correct side or I'd have to jump the fence. Luckily I was on the right side of the fence because honestly, I don't think I could have made it over the fence. Once I got zoned in with the GPS I could tell where it was.

Can you see where the cache might be hidden? (sorry it's sideways)

The cache

Country Roads Take Me Home #4

This was the 2nd of 5 that I found in 30 minutes! I was pretty proud of myself! This one was in a tree just off a country road.

I must have moved when I took this picture! This is the tree I found the cache in. I wouldn't have posted it but I thought it looks really cool!

This is the cache! The coin above my GPS is a GeoCoin. That's what I took! More about Geocoins to come.

Colonel Potter M*A*S*H Cache

On afternoon after I put lil G down for his nap I decided that I wanted to see how many caches I could find in 30 Minutes. Well... I found 5! I think that's a lot of caches! I'm lucky and living pretty close to a bunch of caches so it wasn't too hard to get that number! This was the first on I found! It was was pretty easy! Good clues, close to the road. I love when I find caches!

This is where Colonel Potter Lives


You can tell I was hurrying to get this one. I didn't even close the car door!

South-East Springville Photo Hunt

I got onto the Geocaching site one night and found that a new Mystery Cache was posted. For this cache you needed to find where the locations of the pictures are then get their coordinates and put in the missing number in the master Coords. I knew where most of the pictures were but there was a problem. The baby was asleep so I called a friend to site with the baby and off I went. Driving down dark streets on my Scooter was great! I found all of the pictures and then called the Kelly's to see if they were looking for the new cache to. They were so we met up to compare notes. We had the same numbers so we drove to the cord and FOUND IT! Not only did we found it but we were the first to find it! This is the first time that I found it first (ok with the Kelly's). Here are the pictures that I had to find! This was a great cache!
