Geocaching

Today, we decided to try our hand at geocaching. This was a Friday when Theron was home early and we definitely needed his "tech"brain help. He was also familiar with using a GPS for something called Orienteering. So, we chose three sites to explore and set out.
Our first one, once again . . .  a disappointment. We searched and searched and could not find it.

Mr. Funnyguy

If this one was tricky, well they had us tricked. We refueled . . .

Yeah, it was hot.

and moved on to our next one, following the directions from our navigational tools and this one had clues, too, that were helpful. It was a nice sight and we enjoyed walking around the grounds. Not sure why I did not take pictures of it. I guess that just adds to the mystery of it for you. It was actually a historic site and while we were there, a nice black car pulled up. The driver pulled a walker out of the trunk and helped his passenger out of the car. They looked at the site and took pictures. The elderly gentleman pointed to an upstairs window. That was his room when he was a boy. He had lots of memories. He remembers running down to the creek for a short dip. Wish we had sat and listened to him reminisce a bit more. Why do we hurry so?
Theron was the one who found the cache, so he got to open it and sign it for us.

This is a small one for sure.

It only contained a log book.

Happy with our first find, we moved on to our last one. With a bit of searching, Theron uncovered it. A much larger stash was found in this one. The kids were delighted. It was a simple mayonnaise jar (cleaned out of course) with a log book, pen and some goodies. The kids were prepared with stuff to trade. There was just one problem. Can you guess what that was?

They both wanted the wind-up monkey

A note for the finder

We got the monkey and left a balloon toy and a Malibu token. They will just have to share the monkey.
