A Day of New Beginnings

Today we took some new geocachers out to find some caches. We decided to walk the bike trail in various parts of Miner's Ravine and see what they could find. Hopefully, they would see several types of containers and hide locations that would prepare them for the great world of geocaching.

The new cachers are our neighbor (imawahl), her son (Skiritai72) and her three grandchildren (they were along for the fun). We let them follow their GPS receivers and look for a bit before we offered clues. OK, occasionally we whispered a few additional words in the ears of the grandkids so they could make the find. It was a learning opportunity for all of them and they did well!

It was a long hot day, but we were all having fun so we hardly noticed! Our last cache in the ravine was the Alice in Wonderland--Pool of Tears. It was the highlight of the day as it gave them an opportunity to cool off a bit. Unfortunately, we forgot to take a picture so they will each have to create their own image of the cache.

We ended the day at Starbucks courtesy of imawahl and Skiritai72--thank you very much.

Great fun! Maybe there will be at least two more geocachers in the world.
