The Crater

The third and final geocache that Celeste and I took the kids to find today was called The Crater. It was in a wooded area behind a Green Acres site in another very nice residential community. Aside from the occasional thorn bushes and the rather large orange-colored stream that ran through the woods, the kids did fine with the terrain.

The tree cover created a lot of GPS signal bounce, but we eventually spotted the container. This time, Giuli found some swag that met her criteria, but Gino didn't want anything. We also left the tiger travel bug called Fast Cache that I found last month while working way out in Pennsylvania.


SJCC: Oak

This was the second geocache that Celeste and I took the kids to find today. It was called SJCC: Oak and it was way back in the woods just off a small hiking trail that ran through a very nice residential community. We actually saw a group of about 30 white tailed deer in a field nearby, and we also scared some while we were wandering noisily through the woods.

Gino found the container pretty quickly when we reached the area. He picked his prize, but Giuli found nothing that interested her. We also left our Recon Soldier travel bug in the cache.

Anna's Cache

Celeste and I took Gino and Giuli out geocaching this afternoon. It was actually beautiful day for mid-January. The first geocache we found was called Anna's Cache. It was in a wooded area behind a very nice residential neighborhood. We found the container pretty quickly. Both kids rummaged through the contents and picked out their prizes. We left our own travel bug called Stop For A Minute.
