Geocaching with friends

In January, we enjoyed spending our saturday afternoons geocaching with friends. One weekend, we completed a multi-site geocache with Lisa & Justin. It started at the Bozeman pond and at each site, we had to find various landmarks (for example, how many bouncing animals are in the park) and then insert that number into a math problem. The answers gave us the coordinates for our next site. Finally, we found the treasure at the ninth site and, it was just in time, since strong winds and snow started coming our direction.

Another weekend, we introduced our friends, Mike & Kate to the world of geocaching. Mike was really excited to use his new GPS and after downloading a few local cache's we were well on our way to finding hidden treasures. This was our personal best for finding tons of geocache coins and bugs. We picked up a few and will send them to another location soon.

It is amazing that we have the opportunity to play in such a beautiful place. We wish we could be skiing in deep powder, but until the snow starts to fly, geocaching is quickly becoming the next best thing. I don't think it will ever replace skiing but it's sure fun.

What fun! Is that teeter totter thingy at the park by your work/our old apt? It looks familiar! :) I LOVE that photo of you guys walking along the fence line with the mountains in the back. So beautiful!
