Today my wife, Angel, and I went out caching. This was my wifes first hunt and I was happy to bring her along. I knew the general area where we were going, but I didn’t know where the park was. We drove past it all the way to the end of the road. I turned on my GPS and asked Angel to take a look at it while we backtracked.

Angel would read off how far we were to the cache. As we arrived at the park, I could see how we missed it. You would only be able to see the sign for it comming from the other direction.

The park was empty and quiet. We walked slowly accross the bridges and fields. Angel would hold the GPS within her cloak so her hands wouldn’t get cold. I let her lead the way and she went rite up too it. She found the box and I pulled it out for her.

We went through all the little trinkets. Angel dumped them out and the bag started to fly away in the wind. I ran after it and caught it. I took a “thing” doll and left my Curious George pin from my last find. Angel took some coins from a foreign country and left her bracelet. There was also a cloth glove there that she took to keep one of her hands warm.

I didn’t see the travel bug that was supposed to be there, so Angel looked through the logs to see if anyone was here recently to take it. We didn’t see anyone who logged it.

A camera was included with this cache and we both took turns taking pictures of each other and returned the camera. We wrote little messages in the log book along with our names and the date. Everything was placed back into the container and left as we found it.

Along the way back, I picked up some garbage laying about in the park and put it into a garbage can. Angel looked over a bridge and wanted to make indian war paint out of rocks. I followed her down to the stream, hopping accross rocks and watched as she tried different stones. None of them worked when she rubbed them against bigger stones. We’ll have to try with other stones in another cache site.

We returned to the car for a nice ride home. This game is great showing us places near our home where we can go for outings other then GeoCaching. Angel even had an account made up for her to log where she went.
