Team photo at find #2
We have found a new family activity and it is called Geocaching. Go here to learn more about it. Geocaching is basically a treasure hunt with a GPS. People hide containers (geocaches) and enter the coordinates, basic driving directions and other hints. You browse the website to find caches in the area you want to hunt, load it into your GPS and go on your treasure hunt. We decided to give it a try and had a blast searching for the caches. We headed to the Miami/Globe area and our first find was very easy and fun to get us started. It was what they call a cache and dash.

At the ranch where we found our 2nd cache.
Who says a minivan can't handle off-road driving?
Yes, we are way up near the clouds and that road down there is the only way out! Our second find was a little more involved and turned out to be a 30 minute ride each way on that windy dirt road that led to a cattle round up. It was between 4,000 and 5,000 elevation and the views were gorgeous. We were totally secluded, didn't see another car until we were almost out, a truck was coming in. The land was a ranch and near our destination were corrals, an old shed and water trough for the cows. It was a lot of fun, and we will be planning another hunt soon.
