I saw an advertisement for an activity called Geocaching. It sounded so cool, you check a website and get coordinates to put into your GPS. You follow your GPS to the location and then search for a treasure box. Once you find the box you:
1. Take something
2. Leave something
3. Write an entry in the log book
4. Replace the box as you found it
I love a good treasure hunt and so we met up with Marvin and his family and set off.
We searched for 3 1/2 hours and COULD not find that box. We looked in trees, in the bushes, moved rocks and looked in every place we could think of. We finally gave up with some disappointed treasure seekers. After we came home we had some snacks, checked the website and noticed someone left a clue. The clue said, Look inside the building. We went back, picked up Marvin once again and found it within 5 min. The kids really enjoyed finding the box and each one picked out a little treasure. We left behind: a marble
A miniature American Flag
and a mini skateboard
Here we are looking through the box
The website left 2 more pairs of coordinates. I think if Pascal is up to it we might try again tomorrow.
