Geocaching with the Wild Family

July 17th, 2008 · 4 Comments · a day in the life, dave, random

Last week we took Shauntae and her wild family geocaching with us. We hit several different caches over the course of about 3 hours. All the kids loved the modern day treasure hunting and were pretty eager to trade one dollar store toy for another. I think Shauntae and Nick had a good time too!

We even tried a multi-cache, and managed to collect all the clues leading up to the final cache… but we lost our light before getting to that last one. 10:00p.m. darkness in Logan Canyon with a bunch of tired kids looking for an unknown something in a well hid location just wasn’t our cup of tea. We still need to head out and find the last piece to our multi-cache. We’ll get there eventually!

Here are a few pictures of our adventure.

Then there was THIS! One of our caches took us up to the Utah State campus. Near a exterior wall to the institute building we found this random sink. Weird. It was hooked into the water line on the side of the building, but there was also a hose all wound up in the sink. I have no idea why it was there, but it was pretty random (and therefore worthy of a picture).

Thanks Wild Family! We loved playing with you and hope that we’ve convinced you enough that you’ll come with us again sometime!

    umm. that is pretty strange to see outside. Looks like fun! How often do you guys go out geocashing?

    I’d guess that we probably go once a week, maybe once every other week. We usually aren’t gone 3 hours though. Sometimes we’ll just get a quick one here or there… 15 minutes round trip. It makes for a nice mini family outing when we don’t have much time to go and do for much longer.

    They are fun. We went with the Swazey’s once.

    That was lots of fun…I’ll be posting about it as soon as I can catch up. 😛
