Geocaching With Grandchildren
Tuesday I found a couple of graveyards, with caches, not far from Dexter. I texted our daughter to see which grandchild wanted to go. Colsyn won out so off we went in the vdub. He is getting this down pretty good. Here is checking the coordinates and proper direction for us to go.
Was he right? Oh yea, he was right on the money and we had the cache in nothing flat.
"Lets go grandpa, it is cold out here".
Saturday evening 3 new caches showed up down in Malden. I could not talk Teri into going, it was chilly and dark. Could not convince our neighbor, April, to go. "Wait til Sunday after church and Tyler can go with us", from Teri. So, that is what we did. April grabbed them early. We waited til noon. Can you see the cache?
I thought you would figure this one out.
Here is number two of the day. Where do you think they found it?
Now it was Tyler's time to find his first geocache. Teri helped him get going. Can you see the cache?
Well, which way is the compass pointing? I got cold and jumped back into the car.
Yep, you guessed that one. Was stuck on the back side of the fire plug.Tyler is now an official geocacher. All of our grandchildren love looking for the treasures with us. Great quality time for us with them and we all enjoy it. Teri;s new gps is great. We grabbed a Dakota 10 by Garmin. I will post a picture later. We can easily download the caches right from the website into the gps. No more manually entering them and taking a chance on getting a number off or transposed.
Teri has a new 10.5 inch tablet that she has been playing with. We can take it geocaching when we get everything figured out. Her new phone also showed up yesterday. It is nice. Sidekick with a flip out keyboard for texting and a larger screen for her to see. Oh and we ordered a 7 inch tablet yesterday. Should do about the same thing as the ten inch, just a little slower. Teri loves reading books so now she can download them on either tablet and read as we travel.
Speaking of travel, the GMC sits, waiting for us to roll out of here. I miss Quartzsite, Az. Many of our friends are out there for the next two weeks. Oh well, next year we will be there too.
Hope your weekend has been as fun as our's. Thanks for geocaching with us this week.
