Sam’s Club opened and we were there (as you can read below) BUT we also went Geocaching in the state park. Our goal is 20 finds by the end of January. We “found” 8 spots…but only 4 caches today. Yes, we experienced our first no finds. The GPS units were beeping…we were sure they were there….but there were concrete docks or nothing or what not. Oh well we found 4 and are at 16 now. We have next weekend to try to find 4 more caches.
While in the park, we got the brilliant idea of going camping some Friday night and spending the whole day exploring the park for finds….we are driven to find all 45 hidden in the State Park. One we found today had this in the log book “found it – also found RATTLESNAKE”. This brought back memories of the 8 foot rattler I saw this summer in the park. Mike said he had hoped we saw a snake because he missed hearing the chattering from Mom. All say I sounded like a chipmunk as I pointed and tried to explain what I saw. I think it’s a good idea to do the hiking and camping in the winter around here. Today WAS cool….and I’m hoping Stacia didn’t get to cold. We had her in a snowsuit.
We had thought that maybe the four we didn’t find were archived but – no – someone else has found them in the past week. At the park you are only given coordinates but on the website you get a bit of a “description” and even some encrypted hints if you need them. We’ll try to find those four we missed again. I also printed off about 4 hidden caches along the river walk so the kids and I can give that a try one of these days. I’m fairly sure we’ll reach 20 finds by 31 Jan.
Photos from the day:
Arielle found this one – Jetty – DRY LAKE – all that brown behind us is supposed to be LAKE.
As we wait for the others to FIND us the little ones reenact Aslan at the Stone Table…found this table in the middle of no-where…
Zander prefers to ride on shoulders (Mikes, Cy’s, Jamin’s)
THE FIND…an AMMO can….
Cy has learned to dodge sticks, granola crumbs and flying rocks…he’s the ultimate Cuya.
Texas Charly Brown Christmas Tree…I think we’ll decorate this one with food for the animals next year…
Note the mistletoe in the tree…gotta love TEXAS.
Stacia – the trooper! The end of the day!
