Out by the Renaissance Faire, our very first cache.
Under the sleeping giant.
At a tractor, next to a funny bar called Granny's Closet.
Ask the Lumberjack.
At the Lowell Observatory, overlooking all of Flagstaff.
A magnificent view.
We spent one week of Spring Break in Flagstaff enjoying the beautiful spring weather. We honed our Geocaching skills using our new Garmin and found some really interesting caches. For those of you who haven't discovered this global game of hide-and-seek, a geocache is simply a small container hidden somewhere with a log inside for the "finders" to record their names. The location is posted at geocaching.com with GPS coordinates and information about the cache. Some caches have room for small objects which can be left by "finders" or swapped as you find different caches. We didn't find all of the ones we searched for, but we found quite a few. Some have stories inside about the people who created them and some have goodies left by others who have found them. We left small plastic sea creatures from the Guppyfamily in some and swapped items from others. The kids were much better at finding the hidden containers and it became a fun competition. It's a great way to explore the world and connect with others. We began to recognize the names of other cachers in the logs we signed. Often, we found the same few caches a day behind another group. Here are some of the pictures we took of caches we found.
