Month: October 2013

Lately we’ve been taking my 3 year old grandson Kellen geocaching, and he’s fallen in love with it. He always asks us, “When are we going geocaching?” Of course, I then have to put together a plan and off we go. The other day he found an empty 35mm film canister in the house and said, “This looks like a geocache.” How right he was. So we decided to incorporate that into a very kid friendly container and location that is aimed at young kids. The park is a beautiful gem in North Phoenix with a playground and a huge field that is great for flying kites. The container is large enough to hold all sorts of kid-friendly trinkets, and there is a $1.00 bill for the FTF – kids only please. The cache’s description is noted here

After last week’s adventure with our friend Shauna who was in from Denver, she decided to go out today in her Colorado neighborhood and go on a hunt. I challenged her and she accepted. I won -as it was meant to be – but of course she and her son are newbies, and I imagine they’ll give me a run for the money as time passes. OF course the snow in Denver didn’t help their hunt. Hang in there lady, you’re going to do great.

Spent this past Sunday in Cottonwood with a friend who came in from Denver for the weekend. Shauna had never been geocaching and immediately fell in love with it as soon as she found her first cache. You go girl. We also spent time tasting delicious wine at the Arizona Stronghold winery tasting room. Good friends, good wine, good times hunting for caches and amazingly gorgeous day. Life is good
