Our First Multi-Cache

In June, we decided to do our first multi-cache, this is a cache that has multiple stages to complete, with each cache holding the coordinates to the next one... All Minnesota State Parks participate in a Wildlife Safari challenge and nearly all of them are set up as multi-caches...

We decided to head over to the Upper Sioux Agency State Park which is located only a few miles away from us to try one of these. It was a two-mile hike with eight caches along the way.

We took time to enjoy the views and really admire this beautiful park!
There were quite a few historic sites along the way, most of which revolved around the Dakota uprising.
We thoroughly enjoy our first multi-cache and our first state park quest... thought about vowing to make it to all 72 state parks, but decided that was quite a task to undertake! So we will simply visit any of them that we can and enjoy the journey!

Micro Cache...

The other weekend when family was home, we took a walk down to a local cache in Cottonwood. That day we found our smallest cache to date... this micro cache is magnetic and was tucked in the corner of a historical site here in town. It was a very fun find!

Inside this little guy was a slip of paper on which we need we have to sign our names... very tricky with such a small find. We will hopefully be back out this week searching for more finds!

Local Caching

Within 2 miles of our front door, there are currently 17 caches... stay tuned for some posts of our recent finds, including the smallest cache we have come across thus far.

We're back at it!!!

Last week we hit the road and headed back out for Geocaching! Life has been crazy with my first winter, birthday and a big move!!! BUT, we are back at it!

Now that I have grown a little since last summer, I have to say, I think one of my favorite parts of geocaching is hanging my head out the window of the car.

Our first cache since we went out last fall was huge! Look at the size of that thing!

Right after the first cache, I was a little naughty and chewed through my leash, which was pretty sad, cause then I spent the rest of the evening sitting in the car... ugh...

I watched from the window for the rest of the trip, but luckily they were quick finds and we were headed back home! I got a new leash and we are headed back out tonight, I'll keep you posted!
