Geocaching

I had never heard of this till I married this great man of mine. He is so out going. He had his GPS and you can link it to a website www.geocaching.com and download all the coordinates to local geocaches in your area. Basically, it's like a modern treasure hunt. The fun part is, is that you bring something you want to give away and when you find the geocache you open it up, take something from it and then leave something behind for someone else. The kids love finding the old Mc Donald toys in our house and using those to exchange for pencils and cars. We couldn't find the one in the Heber Cemetery. Maybe next time.

After work, Mark downloads a new coordinate for a new geocache and then we hop on our bikes and ride a round town to find them. Surprisingly, it is a lot of fun!


This one was around 300 North and 500 East in Heber. It was easy and our first successful "treasure hunt" as the kids like to call it.






This Geocache below was located on someones property on 100 South and 500 West in Heber. This was the best one by FAR! It had dollar store toys and then some. Kelsey came with us on this one.



More Geocaching to come......
P.S. Mark wants to find someone he doesn't care for and hide a geocache on their property, download the coordinates, and see how many visitors come to find it. It sounded so mean but so funny:) I wouldn't put it past him
