Geo Cache with Ry & Ash

This afternoon Ryan and Ashley took Kevin, Tanner and Cooper on their latest adventure hobby - GeoCaching. The concept is that people from all over hide small caches of items all over the country and you can get online and get the coordinates of these caches - with a handheld GPS device you can travel around and find them. Most of them have logs to write the date you found it along with your name. Some of them contain small items - you can exchange items if you wish. This was a good proof of concept and hopefully will soon be branching out to caches further aways.

The hunt is on! The first stop was the double church building near Costco.

This first trip ended in moderate success - no cache found, but Tanner said he found a "treasure" rock.

Success! The second trip was to the UVU Wolverine, which contained a "micro" cache.

It's uber teeny!

Cooper, the master cache hunter with the GPS.
