Do you know where your kids are?




Did this one on our way to a GEO Meet and Greet. The first stage was hell to find.
So we sat on our butts and just pondered where it could possibly be. Now the hint was "IF YOU CAN'T FIND IT, "VENT" YOUR ANGER."
There was two vents on this item we were looking at. So Fawyn sat in front of one and I sat in front of one. We studied every part of those vents. Then Fawyn said give me a pen. All be damned what a clever hid. It was on a fish line tied to one of the vent holes inside... awesome. Then we were off to the final stage.

This was the thing me and Fawyn sat infront of to figure out where the first stage was:


Which Fawyn found!!


Apparently the final stage is located where kids hang out and do a little something something.. lol
Fawyn searched over there -->


While I searched over here <--
I found it!

Rockin the Barrel


Another couple of caches off Alpine. Now this place use to be in business but it's no longer. It looks so sad. Kids painted on one side of the building. What a waste!
But I'm glad there is something there to do now though :)

This is a 2 stage cache.
First Stage Fawyn found. What a place to put a first stage. Hope
it don't rust off. But hey it works that's for sure!






Fawyn was amazed on how this little bud of a pine cone could be so pretty, but then
grow up and be so ugly..lol (I'm telling ya it's a tree thing with these girls)


I found it!


I also put Sam the travel monkey in this cache so he can
travel around. You know the whole BARREL part of this cache name. Plus there
was another monkey in there chilling... lol

We Won This Cache


I don't understand the title but I think they won it.. :)
Pretty cool place for a cache. We got bit by a few thorns trying to
find it, but worth it.

They Call Me Freckles


Ok it's Mothers Day and its pouring outside and what do I want to do :)
GEOCAHE of course!
So I pack up 3 kids and head out. Reminding them that they need to put some hoodies on cause you know its raining..lol

I gathered 3 of them at Long Lake. Been going to this lake since I was a
little kid. So it was a joy to do some geocaching here.


Had to cover the GPS today..


Paige looking at me like "Mom it's freaking raining are you serious"..lol


Heading out...






3 drowned rats..


You can run but you can't hide..


Now see we all go running to this bridge like it's going to be there or something.
We all know that bridges are like the key place to hide geo's. Well not this time. We actually looked at the GPS and we were still way off.. good gravy!


Now we arrive at the RIGHT location..lol


Aidan's Treasure Box


This is the second one we did this wonderful rainy day :)
Keshia leads us on this adventure.


At this point we start doing silly things while searching. We have to keep spice
in this. Either that it's a easy way to entertain the kids.
I told Fawyn I would give her a buck if she licked the horseshoe pole.
Guess what.. lol..

Then of course we all had to do it.. geez


I don't know what it is, but my girls like odd trees. Paige seen this bent tiny thin tree and had to pose for a picture.


Fawyn loved this pink tree and had to have a picture also.

Maybe this puts a whole new meaning to tree huggers.. lol

After all this I found it .. woohooo !!


I took a travel bug from this cache. First time I ever did that. It just wants to travel from cache to cache. His name is Sam.
When I got home I logged that I picked it up. Come to find out it was my dads. Wow how about that. First time I do it and it turns out to be families.. geez talk about luck.. :)

A Peaceful Place in the Park


This one is the third one we did at Long Lake. It was on the other side of the lake.
Now when I come to this area all I can remember is when my brother went out to a picnic table that was in the water and wanted to dive off it. He tried to talk me into going
out there and I attempted it, but weeds or SOMETHING touched my foot and that was
when I learned to walk on water to get my ass out of there.. lol

Keshia decided she had enough of the rain and sat this one out. :(

The start of the path to geo. It was so peaceful, just like the title says.
Kind of creepy with the rain and no kritter sounds going on.. :O


I really can't tell what that face of Fawyns was all about. I do know
it was raining pretty steady at the time..lol


It didn't take long and Fawyn found it.


But no that wasn't the end of the adventure. Paige was convinced there was a
alligator in the water. She seen a piece of DRIFT WOOD in the water that looked
like a tail.. It was funny as hell, cause she kept throwing things in the water to see if it would move.. of course me and Fawyn are laughing our butts off. We kept
telling her to go down and have a closer look.. lol

C.S. Park & Ride


Last one of the day. This one was in my home town. I always passed the car pool and said you know I'm surprised there isn't a geo in there yet. Hmm.. well there is now :)

Fawyn and Keshia both sat this one out. Geez it's just rain :)



So me and Paige the die hards trek on to find the last one of the day.


Now see Paige is a hard player. She runs to where she thinks it might be.
She swore it was in this tree. Well she got stuck up in there and was yelling out, Mom I'm stuck come get me. I yell back, hey I'm looking for a geo here..lol
I found it and she moped all the way back to the car. Saying geez you could have gotten me out of the tree. I'm like what and miss out on finding the geo first..lmao
