Geocaching for fun and adventure!
My sis and my boys have some geocaches around where we live, a few state parks, and every couple of years she takes out her GPS and they go find their own caches again.
They started doing it when the boys were really little, like when we first moved here.
Their original cache was a spiderman action figure, a ring, some cool pencils, and a half dollar.
Other people came along, found it, took something out, and replaced it with something they brought.
The boys have been talking about going back out and finding their very first cache again.
To see if it's still there, and if people kept it up.
I know one year because of a hurricane, the water had risen up so much, that the tree they hid it in, got submerged under water and the cache moved a few feet from the mark.
After though, someone was able to dig it out of the mud and put it back.
Now the boys are curious to see if it's still there like 6 years later.
I hope they can go again soon and find out.
If they go, I have a few little trinkets I want to put in it.
It's kinda cool to see the stuff people have put in and taken out.
I know my sis has the site with all the coordinates and stuff for it, I'll have to ask her about it and get the link.
The last time I looked at it, there were people from England who had found the cache, and reported back on the site how much fun it was to find.
They took pictures and posted them to her cache page.
It was really cool to see, because they took pics of the alligators and spiders they saw in Myakka Park, and they took a pic of one of those giant banana spiders, and what they had written was hysterical!
They were like what the hell is that thing!? *LOL*
I will try to get the link and show you, it was wicked cool.
