Hide In Plain Sight

Summer is fast approaching and the heat in the Valley of the Sun is over 100. Welcome to my world. Time to head North and stay North – in my dreams. Found a few this afternoon. Been too long since my last outing.

Kellen and I went out by ourselves this morning and found 5. Afterwards we had a Grandpa/grandson lunch, hit up the supermarket and came home. I love this little boy and I adore being a grandfather. Life is god

Wile we’ve been out over the last few weeks hunting for caches, I haven’t been posting about our adventures. Let me just say taking Kellen with me has been the best part of the afternoons, and it will be again later today. He is such an amazing boy, and soon Beckett will be joining us in the field now that he’s walking. Life is good. Oh, it’s great to have Gillian with me too !

Sharon, the boys, Fergie and I went hunting late this morning. While we didn’t find many, we were glad to be outdoors. Scottsdale is packed with tourists who will probably be here util the end of April given how late Easter is this year.

Haven’t posted a lot lately, nor have we found many since the last post, although the few we have discovered included having Kellen (and Jill and Beckett) along with us. He’s become quite the finder and will only get better as he gets older.

Sharon and I were out today and while hunting for one in town – A Fishing Hole – she spotted a coyote about 100 yards away from us, right in the direction of where the cache was located. I started walking towards the are the coyote left, after spotting me, but then I spotted a 2nd one who stood guard right where I was headed. We surmised that they had a den in the brush, and decided that we’d leave well enough alone. On one hand it was very cool to see the pair. On the other, one never knows what may trigger them to get more aggressive. In any event, we found 6 on Super Bowl Sunday.

Just a quick 5 grabs along Shea Blvd before the two games today. Don’t really care who wins but hope they’re at least good games. Log-em Mitcho

On a gorgeous day, Gillian, the boys, and I went out. First task, find 5 in the area, 2 of which were right around the corner from my house. Next up, hide 3 containers in the Apache Wash Trailhead area of the Phoenix Sonoran Preserve – a beautiful locale we hiked a few weeks ago and where we found a few caches. In short, 1FD – 1 Fun Day

We ended the year at 1606 total finds or 172 for the year. The best part of all of it was taking Kellen with us and letting him be the one to find the containers. Combined with hiding one in his name the numbers didn’t matter. His participation made the year fantastic!

Gillian, Kellen, Beckett and I went out to find the six I needed to get to 1600. A couple of tough ones and #1600 was found here. Kellen has been a real trooper in helping find the last 20.
