past-time...geocaching. You log onto the website
(Geocaching.com) and using your zip code, it shows
you where the caches are hidden. Most caches are
a container with trinkets and a log but some can be
the answer to a trivia question or the location to
another cache. The website gives you the latitude
and longitude coordinates of the "treasure" and using
your GPS as a guide, you find it. (We used John's phone)
Here are Jenna, Hailee and Ian near the 2nd
cache we found. This was our first "virtual cache".
We had to find the historical marker that answered
some trivia questions about Fort Myers history.
We had "technical difficulties" at the first cache.
I couldn't figure out how to make John's phone
take a picture. The first cache was hidden between
two branches of a tree...Ian found it and signed the log.
Our 3rd cache. We couldn't open it because we
were all so sweaty from walking around downtown
in the the crazy hot weather. Jenna was so hot that
she was no longer having very much fun. But, she
hung in there with us.
This is near the 4th cache.
Ahhhh, air conditioning! We stopped at Oasis
for sodas and sundaes so we could cool off a bit
before heading back to the car. We all voted
that it was too hot to look for any more.
After the afternoon rains, we
decided to head out and try for
some more caches. We spent
forever looking for the treasure
hidden here but could not find it.
Our last try for a cache. It was getting dark
and it was hidden in the spooky woods. We
were not brave enough to look for too long!
Angie, thanks for the information. I can't
wait to try this during our trip to Colorado!
