Geocaching at Blair -- August 23


We set out on a geocaching adventure, with a picnic.  We have been talking about doing this for a while, and finally managed to get it together.  If you're not familiar with geocaching, it's a sort of treasure hunt using a GPS.  People can hide a geocache, and they take down the latitude and longitude and share them on geocaching.com, and then you can go find it!  According to the GPS, we walked about 2,000 feet to find this one today.  Andrew and I had done this same geocache in September, 2008.  That was awhile ago!


Emma is looking regal these days.


The geocache is hiding behind the little rock to the right of the girls (they aren't looking in the right spot yet!)


We left a necklace in the box and Vivian took a Foosball and Hazel took a little doll.  Next time I need to bring extra treasures to put in the cache, so that we don't take more than we leave.


The cache was off the trail a bit, but we found our way just fine.  Hazel and I took turns with the GPS, and we played that we were hobbits trying to destroy the ring.


We stopped for a snack in a tepee, and then made it home again in time for a nap and some quiet time.
