This is probably the most unusual cache we've done as far as how we had to retrieve the cache. There was a long pole with a hook on the end of a string and we had to fish for it. I was too short to see what I was doing, but thankfully hubby was able to get it. This was another Premium Member cache, but I was glad my nonPremium family were with me, otherwise I'd still be trying to hook it!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLK-9jMIOh9ryP72mCglFCVQ4LQ62FZGjkHmT7z85PxNray6ZvX7t9W98pBqNasUEnimdU2lFerplzUxOfB0mzWUjFFo3OsocSqbjQ968rWG7w18VLwBjHPsx7JOfYipMdRxy7Y6WtFrQ/s1600-h/IMG_5280.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLK-9jMIOh9ryP72mCglFCVQ4LQ62FZGjkHmT7z85PxNray6ZvX7t9W98pBqNasUEnimdU2lFerplzUxOfB0mzWUjFFo3OsocSqbjQ968rWG7w18VLwBjHPsx7JOfYipMdRxy7Y6WtFrQ/s400/IMG_5280.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5122545076145566530" /></a>Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17714889489664376002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325521315495795375.post-2257102478371872162007-10-13T17:23:00.000-07:002007-10-17T22:28:24.252-07:00Best View Yet!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5WOkHgjhjxbT36T5G-VImkknj41JKWh75-qoIYskKaOc56MnkqzhdPWTlzgpyD-0atQ-44ljzb_MKjVn0XQ9CKmd7r2zpDByZgO1VOd83hqhCyApfj-alWPqeZYxdWYVmbrSbK9GHO1E/s1600-h/IMG_5253.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5WOkHgjhjxbT36T5G-VImkknj41JKWh75-qoIYskKaOc56MnkqzhdPWTlzgpyD-0atQ-44ljzb_MKjVn0XQ9CKmd7r2zpDByZgO1VOd83hqhCyApfj-alWPqeZYxdWYVmbrSbK9GHO1E/s400/IMG_5253.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5122543890734592786" /></a><br />This is another Premium Member cache, and though it was a little bit of a walk, the view was spectacular!

It was an easy find, and the camo was cute too. This is a Premium Members cache, but we didn't know it when we were looking for it. Geocaching.com really should put something on the cache page so it's easier to tell!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb2jdQfErfCirVrUd6bSiJzPEIzlLGhcC6LfbflpCRMQIiL3hVc8vuonjPJHwQh_QgclY8GADNsL1jZqEtHL5YDxjp0LCWUgfFaNc25p1qdaTwzTKEhZIonln6-tI-I4iZjoofI1M5zhM/s1600-h/IMG_5252.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb2jdQfErfCirVrUd6bSiJzPEIzlLGhcC6LfbflpCRMQIiL3hVc8vuonjPJHwQh_QgclY8GADNsL1jZqEtHL5YDxjp0LCWUgfFaNc25p1qdaTwzTKEhZIonln6-tI-I4iZjoofI1M5zhM/s400/IMG_5252.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5122542258647020290" /></a>Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17714889489664376002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325521315495795375.post-3715596929856746542007-10-13T15:31:00.000-07:002007-10-17T22:17:54.148-07:00Found a Letterbox Too<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJM2kgobuOYhgHWsX6KNPwTSlf4kh4TSfvVeo9BHufkKT6gu7pi3YtcT3jIv0cMH1l0D7v8VlRH6K7G2xpPgcZB5vgIUsdfWwPMD9dyK7LOxrU05ld77hoilMqmVzB0yZpA3zZwDyFGQ4/s1600-h/IMG_5233.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJM2kgobuOYhgHWsX6KNPwTSlf4kh4TSfvVeo9BHufkKT6gu7pi3YtcT3jIv0cMH1l0D7v8VlRH6K7G2xpPgcZB5vgIUsdfWwPMD9dyK7LOxrU05ld77hoilMqmVzB0yZpA3zZwDyFGQ4/s400/IMG_5233.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5122541313754215122" /></a><br />This was a multi-cache in one of our favorite parks. While we were looking for the cache, we came across a letterbox too. Letterboxing is like geocaching, but without the GPSr. People use clues to find hidden boxes that contain a log and a stamp. Then they stamp the letterbox stamp into their own logbook and stamp their stamp into the letterbox's logbook. We've run across a couple in the past.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguw43PXvANU_jayEl3FNjSdZFWYXwIrUlP5XCL0XFXjNJG6qlKCccl1FE4YNTPNXpGdWTOgVNK4M_0hZZrue_VEYuvnZsaHPuk6hngGsqwl4vqWSzEt1BHzeV8XuD7JTztNXXURrqGu3s/s1600-h/IMG_5231.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguw43PXvANU_jayEl3FNjSdZFWYXwIrUlP5XCL0XFXjNJG6qlKCccl1FE4YNTPNXpGdWTOgVNK4M_0hZZrue_VEYuvnZsaHPuk6hngGsqwl4vqWSzEt1BHzeV8XuD7JTztNXXURrqGu3s/s400/IMG_5231.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5122541300869313218" /></a><br />We did manage to find the cache we were looking for, and it was filled to the brim with toys for kids, as well as a geocoin and some travel bugs. After doing some leg lifts on the exercise course, we replaced the cache and let the kids play in the park for a while.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO9qJCVBNYfQP7bEkZthUlEMp0AISp84qxiG8C5mwm3tz7-R_2-3oesX-XScplIoQ2dtEgtww0Vgj1QrcENiojIoL9oM681YwClKrHuqBt3rYInrbV1Etcom_u-SQHtzLBx0jaySZq-YI/s1600-h/IMG_5247.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO9qJCVBNYfQP7bEkZthUlEMp0AISp84qxiG8C5mwm3tz7-R_2-3oesX-XScplIoQ2dtEgtww0Vgj1QrcENiojIoL9oM681YwClKrHuqBt3rYInrbV1Etcom_u-SQHtzLBx0jaySZq-YI/s400/IMG_5247.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5122541318049182434" /></a>Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17714889489664376002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325521315495795375.post-83718321057241116592007-10-13T14:30:00.000-07:002007-10-17T06:43:37.571-07:00Well Camouflaged<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzNo8stEyCAKjbUkcwZVHPR2whOizoJJ_pBaCig5EO8aCz0NA9jqXtepz19qnvsZYOg0N_866dQaLhs77uU66ciZKMv6Undh4j5vksnpqL7ngHBtV34Mq9sCGmuStKpPb_wrQNVIgF8wk/s1600-h/IMG_5229.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzNo8stEyCAKjbUkcwZVHPR2whOizoJJ_pBaCig5EO8aCz0NA9jqXtepz19qnvsZYOg0N_866dQaLhs77uU66ciZKMv6Undh4j5vksnpqL7ngHBtV34Mq9sCGmuStKpPb_wrQNVIgF8wk/s400/IMG_5229.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5122300220060021410" /></a><br />I think we may need to get a new GPSr. Lately it's been taking us several tries to get near the cache, and this was one of those times.

We decided this would be a great cache to mak our 100th find! It was a bit anticlimactic since it is right next to the road with no hunting involved. There was an ammo can hidden nearby for trading items, but it was gone when we were there. We were bummed to find out they replaced the log and the ammo can the day we were there, so we must have just missed it! Oh well, we will want to take the kids there one day anyway, so I'm sure we'll make our way back over there again.

On our way out we saw the cutest Jeep, which Abigail thought was so cute...and frankly, I did too!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRG3KBwpnc2Hms5YCN8Rk-tMAs-BDXEgAoxxtwUFwZdLtZz2_6JV1f5fDgGwmAH_Lezazos9m02HGpvlhS55duwmf19sUCB_h87tux9wPxcPPvvv2oN29g0Bbro4-ZOboLn75lhbuhtfA/s1600-h/IMG_5097.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRG3KBwpnc2Hms5YCN8Rk-tMAs-BDXEgAoxxtwUFwZdLtZz2_6JV1f5fDgGwmAH_Lezazos9m02HGpvlhS55duwmf19sUCB_h87tux9wPxcPPvvv2oN29g0Bbro4-ZOboLn75lhbuhtfA/s320/IMG_5097.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5119843936853372930" /></a>Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17714889489664376002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325521315495795375.post-43197645358899302752007-09-23T15:22:00.000-07:002007-10-10T15:26:59.591-07:00Gorgeous Rest StopThis was a gorgeous rest stop. We actually needed to take a break from driving to let one of the little ones use the facilities. As we were washing up, I remembered I had printed out some caches nearby, so I looked and, sure enough, there was one in this very spot! It was a pretty steep downhill slide, so I made the find without the littles, much to their dismay.Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17714889489664376002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325521315495795375.post-69309869480724383492007-09-20T15:45:00.000-07:002007-10-10T15:21:42.602-07:00Different CacheThis was the last one we did on this day, and it was different from any cache I've ever done before. You actually have to find the correct establishment and ask for the cache! We met the nice cache owner and traded some goodies.

This cache was out of reach, and so I tried jumping for it but with no success. I only managed to push it around but couldn't actually get my fingers on it enough to grab it. Oh, and the police station across the very busy street wasn't making me feel like continuing to try either!Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17714889489664376002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325521315495795375.post-70611328270044739702007-09-20T15:15:00.000-07:002007-10-10T15:10:29.663-07:00Trying to Convert a FriendI took my best friend out geocaching for the first time today. This one took us much longer to find than it should have. It was right there in the open, and yet we looked for probably 20 minutes!Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17714889489664376002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325521315495795375.post-90316626920694130322007-09-14T16:55:00.000-07:002007-10-10T15:06:59.926-07:00Desert MicroFinding micros in the desert sounds difficult, but dad walked right up to this one as if he'd been geocaching for years, even despite the fact that the description was way off! We started off on the wrong side of the tracks with this one, but once we got straightened out it was still a little bit of a hunt just to find the right path.Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17714889489664376002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325521315495795375.post-87295131238361540862007-09-14T16:13:00.000-07:002007-10-10T15:03:53.463-07:00Dad's First Cache<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5pCq8EADqP_XMTYsDRzW5dez4bo1k57Z24n9x2tsB9ZC4TwFMH8hE71jEubDzZHn2HvxNugjqOyyOsg3svfZwMWirZwiXYQ0n4EGlHo5F_QMfWP7bM-PEdwODOlot7mv5zfGxMb1RzIk/s1600-h/IMG_4994.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5pCq8EADqP_XMTYsDRzW5dez4bo1k57Z24n9x2tsB9ZC4TwFMH8hE71jEubDzZHn2HvxNugjqOyyOsg3svfZwMWirZwiXYQ0n4EGlHo5F_QMfWP7bM-PEdwODOlot7mv5zfGxMb1RzIk/s320/IMG_4994.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5119831790685859778" /></a><br /><br />I tried to make geocachers out of my family while we were visiting, and this was the first one dad did with us. It was a very windy day, but it was fun nonetheless. I found it right away, but I gave the GPSr to dad and let him find it on his own. He did pretty well for his first time!Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17714889489664376002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325521315495795375.post-8795014210544348302007-09-14T14:37:00.000-07:002007-10-10T14:57:23.117-07:00Along the Aquaduct<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv6Jskn0gy0U1ptPV3P__sw3xPL5xAm5VHRkBZyB_k4-14FYbJocz2-4O6q4wVH2Oq0NOMIPdWepjSCKwX8ja-TrN2OVPIU_dC6fL4aGL0LqxZdltzbkYwpSr2UjBAYmeLyW4n6A46MRs/s1600-h/IMG_4992.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv6Jskn0gy0U1ptPV3P__sw3xPL5xAm5VHRkBZyB_k4-14FYbJocz2-4O6q4wVH2Oq0NOMIPdWepjSCKwX8ja-TrN2OVPIU_dC6fL4aGL0LqxZdltzbkYwpSr2UjBAYmeLyW4n6A46MRs/s320/IMG_4992.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5119830446361096114" /></a><br />This was a neat cache located up a small hill and along the California Aquaduct.
