GeoCaching - Our First Hide
I spent a lot of time hiking the hills and trails in this area trying to find a challenging and scenic place to hide our first cache. Here it is:
Here is a shot of just the view from the hiding area:
We ran into a small problem as we were hiding it though.
After picking the spot, filling the container with log book, swag and notes we made the 1.25 mile hike up the side of this mountain and looked for the perfect hiding place. I saw the spot and went to hide the ammo box and get the coordinates for the geocaching web site and low and behold….There was another ammo box there. I got out the log book and read every entry. It seems that it was the end stage of a puzzle cache and because of that it didn’t show up on our cache maps. After hauling all of our things up there I wasn’t about to call it quits so, we signed the log for the cache that we found and went up the trail the required 528 feet and we were just about to another, even better, location.
This location is the one in the images above. So instead of hiding one today, we found one and hid one and found an even nicer place to put our first one.
