Mom's First Cache Run

(Me and my GPS)

I've told my mom all about the joy of geocaching. When she comes to visit we usually go out for lunch and the whole drive there I tell here, "Oh I found a cache there" "there's one there but I can't find it" "See that tree? I found one there". So last weekend Nate (the hubby), G (the baby), and I went up for a visit and while the baby was sleeping (or so I thought), I took my mom and step dad on their first caching run and man did we have fun.

We found that there were 5 caches within a half a mile from my mom's West Jordan home so I mapped it out and off we went. The first one was way easy; we didn't even have to get off the sidewalk. Out of the next 4 we found 3. One this one the clue was "At the Middle amigo's waist" so when we pulled over I knew that this one had to be in the middle tree. My mom was the first to spot this one and she was so happy that she ran to the truck to show my step dad, Greg.

Then we got back into the truck and drove about a block to the next cache. Greg was a little confused because I kept saying "Oh! Right here! Pull over!" "No wait! It's up farther. Park up there." That's one of the reasons Nate doesn't like going with me. GO! STOP! I can never make up my mind.

The next one was one of the coolest finds. The clue was "Grapes make fine Wine" so I was pretty sure that it was in a grape vine somewhere and another cacher had commented that the copper was really shining so he turned it so I was pretty sure the cache itself was made out of copper but when we found this one I just had to laugh. It was so cool, even Greg got out of the truck once we found it.

And the last one was in the same parking lot. When we got close to the bushes Greg said "It's in that one!" and he was right! This one was a great last find. Quick, easy, and fun. That's the way we like it!
