We found our first cache!!! I’ve been itching to go Geocaching for a long while. Today, we decided to seek out a simple one before Dan had to head off to work. I was quite surprised when my little Garmin etrex Legend led us right to our chosen cache by the Flathead River, and Dan was quick to spot it. Even though this was an easy cache, we both had a lot of fun.


This is me pulling the well hidden cache from it’s hiding spot. Yes, I’m looong overdue for a hair appointment — it’s next Saturday at noon, so shaddup!


Ooooh, what goodies are we going to find?


A Geocoin!


Many, if not most, Geocoins like this one have a goal and are owned by someone, usually the person who purchases it and enters the tracking number. The goal of this coin (set by the owner) is to be photographed at a post office or national park, all the better if it’s photographed at a post office in a national park. Now that I’ve retrieved this coin from the cache, I’ll take it up to Glacier National Park and photograph it. Then I’ll set it free into a new cache for someone else to find.
