Thanks to all of Kate's exciting posts about geocaching, my family and I decided we wanted to do it too. We started with three easy ones...

Great pics Sonny, how exciting you got 3 caches on your first day.

We just got back and had dinner, I will have some pics in a little bit, but we didn't find ours. We only tried the one, got a late start as we went out today and bought a handheld GPS. This one was within walking distance from our house so we just hiked it later in the day.

Did you get any trinkets from them?

From the first one we traded for a keychain, and the second one we traded for a tiger/kosh type of thing (yoiu can see Max holding it in one of the pics). The micro only had a log. :)

Great pics Sonny. Now I want to try geocaching. I think I'll ask my BIL, who is a land surveyor/engineer what kind of GPS he recommends.

:banana: looks like you had fun! I can't wait to hear how day two was.

[Sonny]

Kate, day two was rained out. It rained all night Saturday and ALL day yesterday. :(

[Kate]

:( darn. I am so glad you had a fun first day though. My kids were so tired this morning, yesterday was almost 6 miles :eek:
