Geo caching

View across the green meadow, which the moles evidently love, maybe it's all the deer poop that attracts them. Oh, and a shelter, because of the rain.











Oxbow Park, mossy tree, why are there ferns growing out of the moss on the tree?
Because it's OREGON and it's WET.










Looking up the road (the long and winding one)













The crew













Looking down the long and winding road













Our first geocaching trip!
Les found it! Yay Les!













For those who don't know, geocaching is a fun sport, using GPS, you find hidden "caches" which contain a log book and sometimes little prizes. The degree of difficulty varies, but it is fun. Hope to have more pics as we do more caching.

Thanks you! We really had a great time. My mom and dad have been geocaching for a while, so we went out with them. I am really looking forward to doing this more. There is so much to find around here, and we hope to play around with it more whne we travel or camp.

I've never heard of geocatching before. It sounds like a blast!

Well, it seems to be, we've only done a little. I saw a show about it last year and ever since wanted to try it. My mom and dad already do it, so they are a good resource. I think it's a great way to get out of the house and get a little exercise, and then it is a challenge, and it's fun for the kids because it's like a hunt. We get to see things we might not otherwise.
