Geo-caching in Oregon

We did some geo-caching while we were in Oregon. There were some pretty interesting finds.
 Looks just like a random post on the side of a parking lot.
 Lo and behold---there is the cache. 1st rule of geo-caching---look for something that is out of place. Why was that random post there? Just to hide a cache!
 This one started with a clue to unlock the lock.

 This one had several trinkets for the taking. The etiquette is: if you take something, you should leave something.
Butch found this cool travel bug in one. This is meant to be taken and placed in another cache. That's how they travel around the world.

If you've never tried geo-caching, it's a lot of fun and can be quite addicting!

It's free to sign up. Of course, you can pay for a premium membership, but that is not necessary to have fun!

  2. Fun, indeed. We've done a little of that ourselves, and this summer my niece is really enjoying it.
