Geocaching reports 1-3

1) Our first time trying Geocaching was not a huge success, but we had fun and at least we found 1 out of the 4 we tried. It just happened to be the first one we went too!

The 2nd one we went to was at the Jumbo food store just north of us. We could not find that one. The most memorable thing about that site was that Kile forgot he had his car in gear when he started it and rolled the car on top on my toes and stopped!!! Not on purpose of course, but OH MY WORD it HURT!!! Luckily I didn't have any broken toes!!

Next we went to a walking bridge near Cody's school. No luck there. :-(

The final stop for that day was a site just north of the flight line here at Vance. We couldn't find that one either. There was a lot of sitting water and yucky stuff so we didn't search too awfully hard. Kile did climb over the barbed wire fence and got scrapped...It's like the barbed wire is suppose to keep people out or something... haha

2) Yesterday we went out again. This time without Cody, since he is in CO. We found 1 out of 5. Grrrrrr...we don't like failing. Part of the problem, we think, is that in the area we were looking they have had tornadoes and really bad storms recently. We are thinking they may not be there anymore.

The first site we went to was NOT fun. Kile came out with a tick on him and still no cache. Grrr...Luckily the tick did not bite him!

The first (and only) one we FOUND was at a little church in Lahoma. We found that one!! YAY!! It was a fun one that we think we're going to take Cody back to so he can, "find the treasure."


Between the wind and the heat, my hair looks like poo!

Next was at a baseball field in the trees that had fallen branches all over. No luck...

We did make the most of our trip to Lahoma though. We stopped at the Plainview Winery on our way out of town. Yum! They have some yummy wines!! Not to mention their amazing pickles and cheese! Definitely going back there again! :-D

Then we stopped at a rest area on the way home. There are some concrete tables there. One of which was put there by a boy scout troop in 1994. That is where the next cache was supposed to be, but after looking for a good 30-40 mins we could NOT find it! :-( BUT...Kile felt a little better cause he found a turtle!! And a lizard...but that ran away before I could get a pic of it. Kile is STILL talking about that turtle! haha

Our final stop for the day was at the "Welcome to Enid" sign on the way back into town. We searched high and low and in between and still could NOT find that cache. It was rather disappointing!

3) Today was way more exciting and fun. We found an app for the Android that connects us to all the Cache sites so we did a little more today.

We started off downtown Enid. There was a site called "The Wrong Tree." We were looking for a pinecone, but not in a pine tree! I found it!! I was very excited!!

As you can the pinecone itself fell off or got eaten, but it was still there!! :-)

Next we went to the Enid High School football stadium for that cache, but that one had been taken down.

We went to the baseball fields on the way back to base, where there were 2 different sites. The first one we couldn't find...grrrr, but...



Recording our find!!

We found the last one we went to though at the field.  I was so excited, I found both of the ones today...Kile had to help me get the last one though. It was so cool! we were 2 for 3 today!! YAY! We are getting better!


Kile was excited we found the last one of the day. Can you tell?

We are having so much fun Geocaching!

Well, that's it for right now.  I will do some shorter ones as we go along! :-D
