05/01: Geocaching - Part 2
Category: General
Posted by: The Agnew Family
Today we got on our bikes and rode to the bike park a mile or so down the road from the RV park. Ed turned on the GPS and we were off ..... looking for caches. The first one was pretty easy to find --- a hummingbird just off the main trail. By the third cache we were off the main trail and the cache was really easy to spot as it was in a large blue bucket. Once we opened the bucket the challenge began. The note below explained how we were to get into the cache.
The cache needed to be shook just right to move the key from the first chamber through the handle into the second chamber. A little more shaking was required to get the key to jump into the tube that lead to the Tee and finally into Ed's hand.
It took patience on Ed's part (though he did ponder picking the lock or dismantling the cylinder) but he managed to shake the key out. Once inside he removed the film container, removed a piece of paper from it and added his name to the short list of names on the paper. Then he put the monkey puzzle back together and we were off looking for the next cache.
The search took us into some areas of the park we had never explored. Including finding this fine looking tractor.
Ed finding another cache. In total we tracked down nine caches and road twelve kilometres. Not too long of a ride but it was fun.
