Geo What?
Okay, so the the geocaching bug has struck again. It is so fun! For an early birthday present we (the kids and I) bought my dear hubby a Garmin Fortrex GPS. Oh, it is so fun. Our first trek out with the new, more accurate model landed us on top off Bessie Butte. Bessie Butte is nearly 2x the hike my normal Pilot Butte hike is and had we known what we were getting into, well, lets just say Bessie Butte would have had a lonely day. The kids and the dog went at least twice as far as we did, which is normal because they run back and forth and around and around. T and I thought we our legs were going to fall off and roll down the hill a couple of times but alas, we made it to the top. The view was spectacular and we were so glad we conquered.
Since Saturday, we have done a number of geocaches and our new gaget has made the rock climbing (which is par for the course in Central Oregon) a whole lot less precarious due to the fact that you don’t have to climb up the rocks one handed.
I think Abbie might even be dubbed a geodog and our kids, well, they have gone from hating the hunt to looking forward to the next hunt and the treasure at the end.
For those of you who don’t know what geocaching is, check out their websight. It is a very fun sport!
Also, you can check a few of our pictures at my flickr sight.
