Geocaching fun!

A few weekends ago friends from Halogen Katy & Ernie Macias took me on my first geocaching adventure. A simple iPhone app (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/geocaching-intro/id329541503?mt=8) you can search all over your city (or all over the world for that matter) and find little hidden treasures. Today was my best score yet. I figured out how to use the compass and it lead me right to it (well, after a lot of looking and digging in bushes). I took my coworker Bob on this little adventure after a work out at our office gym. Check it out:
The clue was, "it might look like a dead end but if you STICK with it you'll find it."





Actually, this is me putting it back but you can tell how hidden of a trail it was.

Found it!

Awesome stash!!

I've never found a stash this big!

Some sort of special medallion I have to google.

How awesome is that!?!

Here is my find on Sunday with Frances:


It was behind a street sweeper sign....Awesome! Let's go on one!! :-) nerd status.

UPDATE: After I looked up the Geocoin online and you are supposed to take it and leave it somewhere new. So, I went back on my lunch break and managed to get it. It required me crawling into the bush with my work clothes but I did it without even getting dirty. My boss was really impressed. haha. I'll update when I leave it.
