First time geocaching was a hit! Though it didn't start out that way. After several "hangouts" with Dad, we found the cache in the trees near by. We drove just 3 miles from the house to a boat launch site by the river, got out and began using the compass on the c:Geo app. I looked at the coordinates and thought I had to match them up somehow. It took us into the woods, mud, prickly plants and water everywhere. I don't know what I was doing, but could see that was NOT mild terrain! Lol. So Dad said to just follow the arrow on the compass (too easy) and it led us to the cache. Yay!
The kids were sooo excited! They loved it. Each of them wanted to take something, it was a bit difficult to convince them otherwise. But I did. Then Tracker lost the stinking prize down the stream. 30 min of looking later, we decided to leave yet another item, to be able to take another item. Lol. We will definitely be doing this again. It really was an adventure.
