Treasure Hunt #8

>> Saturday, April 10, 2010

We went to visit Nana and Pop since they were not feeling to good.  The kids really missed them while they were gone.  On our way back home we decided to do a little treasure hunting.  We found one at a local CVS parking lot.  It was a quick park and grab and had just a log  in it.  Then we went on a few real hunts.

This was a local biking trail, the kids love doing these hunts together.

Our first cache was hanging from a tree in an old coffee canister

It had a fun trade items for the kids
We found Teckla's - Geocoin Club August 2009 Geocoin

There is no current goal for this item but is has traveled 396 miles since being placed in a Florida cache near Micanopy November of 2009.


Our next one took us a bit to find, we had to try two different paths to get to it.

Yeah baby we found it!

Kids loved this stash.  We left Teckla's Coin here for someone else to move it along on its journey.

This one was fun to find in a local park.  We actually had a Muggle visiting from Georgia help us find this one.  (A Muggle is A non-geocacher. Based on "Muggle" from the Harry Potter series, which is a non-magical person. Usually this term is used after a non geocacher looks puzzled after befriending a geocacher searching for a cache, or when a non-geocacher accidentally finds a cache. Geomuggles are mostly harmless.)  These Muggles are now hooked.  We gave them coordinates to a few other caches near by and showed them how to sign up.

This cache was disguised as a bird feeder.  The owner actually super glued birdseed on the clear walls to make it appear full.  When you look in the box it is empty and has the stash and log inside.

We left 12 Provincien Geocoinrace 2008-2009 Geocoin van Janneke to continue on its journey.

It looks like you guys had a great day Treasure Hunting! So glad that Blayke was able to go and his allergies weren't acting up.

This is so cool! Looks like a great way to get out and enjoy nature-I'm sure our boys would LOVE it too. Makes me want to get a GPS just to go treasure hunting!
