Travel Bug Hotel and Embassy

This is a really neat idea for a cache, a place for people to drop off travel bugs near the airport so others can easily grab them on their way out of town. We found this easily and were a little disappointed to find almost all the travel bugs cleaned out. We dropped off a couple bugs, used the hotel bathroom, and headed home for the day.


Tuckered out little geocacher.

Number 25...Sort Of!

We had found the other cache located in this park a little bit earlier. After the kids took a break to play a bit, we went in search of this one. There were LOTS of muggles around, so we played it safe.


I snapped lots of pictures of the roses hoping to cover my sideways glances into the shrubs looking for the cache. As it turns out, somebody else must not have been as careful or perhaps it wasn't hidden well or something, but hubby found the box for the cache laying open on the ground with the info sheet but the rest of the cache was gone.


So this turned out to be a bit of an anticlimactic 25th find, but the scenery was gorgeous!

Hot and Humid

This is a lovely park with some nice hiking trails and picnic areas and even a couple of playgrounds. The weather was very humid and too hot for our Pacific Northwestern comfort. The GPS was almost of no help, but the hint was a great help. We found the cache and traded some items and then went to play in the park for a while.

No Time To Sign

It took a little bit of time to find this cache, but not too long. The kids loved playing in the park while we hunted, but just as we found the cache, Ryan decides he needs to go to the bathroom NOW! Also a group of kids came to play basketball, so we hastily put the cache back before we could sign it, snapped a picture which didn't turn out, and left in search of the nearest bathroom.

Misleading Hint

This was another cache that was hidden in someone's yard, which always make me a little uncomfortable. The clue totally had us hunting in the wrong area, but my geosenses kept coming back to one thing. Lo and behold, it was the cache. I need to trust those senses sooner!

Finally a Free Trip to Costco!

We attended a church in Vancouver, Washington, this morning, so afterward we had lunch and then did some geocaching in the area. This was a fun and clever hide at the Costco, and it was even easy to get without being seen, which is a feat at any Costco!

Local History

We decided to make a quick stop on our way home to see if we could cross this cache off of our To Find list. It really took us much longer to find than it should have. The hint through me off a bit, but hubby made the find just as we were about to give up. It was nice to stop and read this sign about the local history that I have been driving by for almost two years.
