Geocaching


To kick off the "Walk Across Arizona" we joined in on a Geocaching event. During the next 8 weeks all 4 of us will be recording our "steps" and watching as our steps add up to walk the 410 miles across Arizona. The boys were super excited to do their first Geocache event. If you are unfamiliar with what Geocaching is it is like a modern day treasure hunt. The goal is to find a Cache with a Handheld GPS unit and then remove an item from the box. Typically you replace an item with something else but since this was a special event it was just the fun in finding all the treasure boxes and finding what is inside. The 1st box was a bit hard to find but once we did the boys we ubber excited. It was a HOT day but we found all 8 boxes and we had walked over 4000 steps in about 2 hrs.

The boys are HOOKED. We are now looking into Caches near our home and will be looking for Caches when we go off-roading.
