The Search is On!

While I was on the geocaching website (www.Geocaching.com) , I discovered a huge Mystery cache. It’s a Lord of the Rings themed series of caches (a lot of the caches have themes). The final cache is called the One Cache to Rule Them All. To find the final cache, you need to find the 5 missing numbers in the cords. These numbers are found in 5 Master Caches (Hobbit, Human, Elf, Dwarf, and Evil) but to find those you need to find 5 individual caches (ex. Merry, Pippin, Frodo, Sam, and Bilbo for the Hobbit) for each master. Like the final cache, these caches are missing cords and you need to find each “hobbit” to find the master cache. The caches range from Orem to Salem.
I was very interested in these caches, so on the way home from G’s doctor’s appointment; we met Meriadoc Brandybuck on the side of a country road. Like the cache details said, hobbits love country life and I think that a hobbit would have been quite happy on this road. I looked around but I’m not as fast as Nate, he found it before I did. That’s why I bring him with me! He is a great cacher!

G Chilling in the Car While We took Pictures

Merry was so glad that we came to see him that he told us to go see Sam. We got back in the car and drive down the road for a while until we found Sam resting by a pond under a tree. The boys stayed in the car and I trekked it down a small weedy embankment to get to him. It took me a while because I don’t kind putting my hands in places that spiders might be but I toughened up and found it! Only 3 more hobbits until I can find master! I can’t wait!
