When I saw on their website that they had 3 geocaches I knew the plan was a go.
We had gone geocaching on our trip to Tahoe last winter (You can read more about that adventure here). Ever since we've wanted to go again but never got around to it. This time we were ready.
The first geocache. Can you spot it? I nearly missed it and I had written instructions for it. I'll give you a hint: left side, near the logs. :)
Vince watching Marc open up the box. Vince handled the off-roading excursion very well. He even slept through part of it.
Inside was a buckeye along with a letter about what buckeyes are!
I'm pretty terrible at spotting them, so we had to take a picture of the one I did find!
Our ducky!
During the vacation in California, we found a small rubber ducky in one of the geocaches. Shortly after we returned home, the cousins we vacationed with put a trackable onto the rubber duck with a goal of getting it to us in Florida. (A trackable is an item inside a geocache that has a tracking code. You can log onto geocaching.com, input the code and see where the item has previously been and is currently located.) We bought a tracking tag and put it on this ducky. His goal is to reach them in California! Check up on the ducks using codes: TB41ZNR and TB41342 respectively.
It was a lot of fun. We spent about 2 and a half hours actively hiking about and as you can see, it wasn't exactly an easily paved road:
We are looking at going out again this coming weekend for another geocaching adventure. Most of the calculators I've utilized estimate I burn 1,100 calories. That's incredible in my mind and if I am able to couple that with more walks during the week, it's an excellent push towards healthier living.
The boys taking a well deserved break.
Do you take adventures? What's the most fun you've had while exercising at the same time?
