We have a family of Hairy Woodpeckers that visit us from time to time. This morning we only had two guests visit. The interesting thing (at least to me) is how vocal they are. They also stick their beaks into the bird feeder and I guess come away disappointed when there aren't any bugs to be found.
We decided to find us some geocache sites. Rick and Y hadn't done any geocaching before so we took them up to Cicero Peak where we knew it we could get the hang of it once again. Rick used his car GPS while we used our handheld model. The handheld model proved to be more accurate the closer you get. Here are Rick and Y with their find.
Once the log books were signed and the cache put back the way we found it, we were off to find a couple of more geocaches before calling it a day. One of the caches was ridiculously easy right alongside the highway. The third hunt for the day lead us not to far from the campground. We had to climb up this rock hill that had three "caves". The guys spotted the cache pretty quickly. Here is Rick with the contents of the cache box. The geocache boxes typically contain a logbook and assorted trinkets. You can take something, leave something, or simply sign the logbook like we did.
While headed to our fourth geocache of the day, this white tail doe with her twin fawns crossed the road in front of us.
Geocaching is a fun way of getting exercise, having the thrill of the hunt, and communing with nature.
The fun day was ended with us playing cards. Once again, the girls got their butts kicked by the guys.
