I LOVE GEOCACHING!

so, today jen and i went geocaching again! there she is in the picture. :)

can i just say...I LOVE GEOCACHING! it's like a treasure hunt...a dose of adventure (just without the pot of gold on the other end). all in the journey, right? ;)













we found a really cool one today...out in the middle of NO WHERE! to be honest, though, i really enjoy the ones we have to forage through the woods to find. the cool one was actually strung up in a tree. if it hadn't been designed with a yellow drawstring, we would have walked right by. clever dude who hung that one...













this is me finding one that was hidden in a burnt out tree stump. one of my first solo finds!











along the way, we occasionally see some odd/cool things. this is a weird mushroom thing. we stumbled across an elderly couple going mushroom hunting with massive buckets out in the boons. there were some awesome local hiking trails with some sweet built-up walkways that we never knew about. we also ran across a man that had to live out of his truck...sad. oh...and did i mention the hunters? ya, we had to clear out of one cache because there was a sudden burst of gunshots right by us...ah, the adventure.










because jen's hubby thinks we don't forage enough...bound through the roughage...here's proof. i picked a fight with a sticker bush...and lost. oh well...proof is in the pants...eh-hem...on the pants, i should say. ;)








oh my!...some caches are located in city parks. this is one where the darn cache is a "micro" which means it's probably the size of a match box. well, we thought it might be magnetically stuck to this tank...so i'm checking the underbelly of the beast. hahahaha! oh dear!
