We’re not dead yet! Came here for a week, staying in a house right on the ocean in the little community of Puako. This is as close to paradise as we’ll get. Found our first one right by a phone booth which is an oddity all it’s own. Will hunt for more as the week progresses.
Geocaching
Still Alive
While we’re not geocaching much these days, we still do it, especially when we travel outside Arizona…July is upon us, and the Valley of the Sun temperatures are in triple digits, so it’s not much fun to go out. We will return.
Geocaching
It’s Been A While
After 13 years, geocaching has lost some of its luster, except when traveling to distant places. I’m not as obsessed as I was way back when. Now with the ChiCom virus keeping everything shut down, I’ve been trying to get out a bit, and find a few. Today we grabbed three, and will go out every day to seek a few more. Hang in there folks.

Prescott Valley
Gillian, the boys and I drove up here yesterday to make a business call for her company, and get out of the desert heat. Found a handful of caches in the area, and had a burger hunt at a local eatery, The Copper Pit…good burgers, ate outside, nice breeze…life is good
Geocaching
Desert View
The heat wasn’t too bad this morning so we took a short hike out into the desert near the Western boundary of the McDowell Regional Park, and grabbed a cache up on a hill. The 360 degree view was spectacular. Saw a red tailed hawk soaring close to the ground looking for brunch. Magnificent bird.
Geocaching
Despite the Heat
Went back out to Fountain Hills, and grabbed a few more. It was too hot for Fergie, but we hate to leave her home. There are some along a trail, so maybe early tomorrow we’ll go out again and see what we can find
Geocaching
Thar She Blows
Went out to Fountain Hills, grabbed a few, and then called it quits…way too hot
Geocaching
The Heat Is On
Summer has arrived before its official start. Decided to grab a few near the house and was successful in all regards. I miss being in BC!
Geocaching
Home again Home again
OK – I’ve started up again in AZ despite the heat. Grabbed a few near my house after taking Fergie to the park. Fortunately, despite being in the 90s, the cloud cover made it bearable.
Geocaching
Vancouver & Whistler
After Victoria, we spent a few days in Vancouver where we only had the opportunity to grab a couple of caches – one at the Museum of Anthropology on the University of BC campus – unbelievable exhibits, and the other in Stanley Park – both beautiful locations. On our last day in Canada we drove up to Whistler through stunning scenery, and found the one hidden in the Florence Peterson Park. I would have liked to spend more time there (the whole summer!!), but I will return. What a gorgeous place. We visited the Audain Museum home to some amazing First Nation artwork and carvings.
We’re now home, and I’ll hunt for more local caches until our next trip, likely to visit friends in Lake Arrowhead
