Follow The Winding Path

Angie, Celeste, and I took Gino & Giuli to a park in Deptford to hunt for a geocache called Follow The Winding Path. We chose it because the terrain and difficulty ratings were listed as pretty low, and the container size was listed as pretty big, which usually means some decent swag ("treasure") for the kids. The park had some nice benches, a little gazebo, and pretty easy trails leading into the woods.
When we neared GZ, we realized the terrain and difficulty ratings were much lower than they should have been. Just getting to the cache location required a decent amount of bushwacking off the trail through underbrush and thorns, plus climbing over (and under) fallen trees. Gino had no problem with most of this, but Giuli's little legs couldn't always reach and she had some trouble climbing around.You can see from the picture that the container was much smaller than indicated on the cache description page, but it did contain some decent kid-friendly swag, which made Gino and Giuli happy. However, the cache inventory also listed 4 different geocoins and travel bugs, but none were in the container.
At least the kids had a great time wandering through the woods and hunting for treasure!
