Steve had to work, so I decided to take some mother/son alone time, and Travis and I headed to
Hidden Shores, Yuma, AZ for the first week of Spring Break. While en-route, we stopped at Ogilby Rd off of the I-8 to do a little
Geocaching, and Travis went deep in the bush to find this well-hidden cache. We ended the week finding over 25 caches. Some we were able to get to on paved roads, and others required the Jeep or quads and definitely 4WD. If you don't know what geocaching is, basically, it is an adult treasure hunt, with the fun being in deciphering the clues and actually finding the cache. There are over a million caches hidden worldwide, each given specific GPS coordinates. You log on to the website, download the location to your GPS or GPS enables phone, and start searching. Keep in mind, some of these little buggars are super well hidden or camouflaged. We spent the week riding the quads, practicing baseball, finding caches, going jeeping, generally hanging out and had a BLAST! Steve joined us on Thursday and spent the weekend. On Sunday, we headed to La Quinta to visit Steve's mom and felt the shaking of the big quake.

Sounds like a wonderful trip! Who hides the "caches"? Is it a national or international group?
Anyone can "hide" a cache. There are over a million worldwide. The website is where all of the caches are "logged". www.Geocaching.com We are really having fun with it. I even thinking of putting together a Geocaching Cruise where we "cache" in each port of call... Thanks for reading my blog!
