Geocaching Weekend

So this weekend Lori and I did a little more Geocaching. We visited 5 different caches bringing my total up to 9 that we have visited. I’ve only been able to find 8 of them because the Walker cache proved to be too difficult for us. We were able to find the Palace Play Time cache finally after getting some hints from another geocacher. We also hiked up a very steep grade to get to the Finger Park geocache and we also found the Smelling Fries geocache.

On Sunday we went to Missouri to hit up a single cache in the Buffalo Hills Conservation Area. We had to drop off a “Travel Bug” in a cache up there to get him to a different state. A Travel Bug is a little item (usually something attached to a dog tag) that contains a tracking number. People place it in different caches around the world in order to have the item travel much like the roaming gnome or a Where’s George dollar. We had a decent hike through some really pretty countryside. The trail was nice and wound around for quite a distance. The only bad thing was the number of ticks we encountered. I strongly dislike ticks, and I had a dozen or so on me from this place, even with Off sprayed on my arms and legs.
