Geocaching

Well, it’s been two weekends in a row that Mike has been able to “drag” us out geocaching. My wife discovered it a few months back and the idea never really caught on with me as we didn’t have a GPS to use. Mike fixed that a couple of weeks ago and it appears to be a new found hobby in our house. The little one is getting to be quite the cacher as he seems to always want to navigate on our trips. He does quite well too.
It’s been tons of fun and I think motivates us to get out and enjoy the wonderful area we live in here in North Idaho. So, next thing to do is to find a GPS to buy (actively searching as we speak) and to get out there and find some more caches.
It will also be great for me to find some new places to do some photography as I’ve already racked up a few new pics on Flickr.
Check out our Geocache profile to see where we’ve been. Tons of fun.

[…] Wow, what an amazing time this trip was. Last Thursday and Friday BJ and I took a little 2 day backpacking trip in the Selkirk mountains in North Idaho. We’ve been doing quite a bit of hiking around with our geocaching expeditions, but this was our first attempt at a true backpacking adventure. Boy, was it worth the trip. I had picked up booklet from the Bonners Ferry Ranger District that had some trails in it. One was to Big Fisher Lake. I did a bit of Googleing and a bit of map work with Google Earth to figure out what it would be like going to the lake. I found one site that had a decent amount of information, but it was hard to find any details about the trip. We decided that it sounded like a good destination a few weeks back. Then we planned. We tried to figure out what we would need to take and if we would be able to make it all the way up there. After borrowing a few needed camping supplies from the Bro we finally rounded up everything we needed. […]
