Texas Caches
Geocaching has become a really fun way for us to add to our adventures. Whenever we go somewhere, we find ourselves popping open the app to see what’s nearby. We don’t have a hand-held GPS so we use the phone app. If you would like to learn more about Geocaching in general, please read my blog post about Geocaching. I explain all the basic terms and what exactly Geocaching is. I also show and list what some of the containers look like that people use.
The Proposal
Date: 8/25/17
Type of Cache: Small Cylinder
Location: Medical Center Park
City: Amarillo
Description: Out on a motorcycle ride, we turned into a medical park and found the coolest little lake/pond with trails. We had to get off the bike and stroll. Guess what? There were caches there!!! This one was a clever little hide that looked like an in-ground sprinkler. We almost went right by it. I was learning how to use the app “Snap Chat” and that’s what I took the picture of the cache with. What I didn’t know was that when you take a picture with “Snap Chat” after a little while the picture disappears forever. Oops, lesson learned. The picture above is similar to the cache find. It is not the actual cache.
Shelby and Coleby’s Treasure Cache
Date: 8/17/17
Type of Cache: Medium Plastic Tub
Location: Palo Duro Canyon State Park
City: Canyon
Description: Wow!!! Palo Duro was so beautiful. The first time we were there it was over 100 degrees. We were not Geocaching that day. We returned about a month later with my daughter who was visiting from New York. As we were taking in the beauty of a look-out we were on, I decided to open the ole Geocache app. After walking around in some prickly shrubs, voila. The cache!!!
