Geocaching

I wanted to try out geocaching with the kids. There are apps that you can put on your phone where geographic coordinates are given to you that lead you to an area where a treasure is hidden. Once you find the cache you taker a look at it, record your name and date you found it and then re-hide it for the next person. It’s a neat way to get out into nature and treasure hunt!

I downloaded the app and discovered there were quite a few nearby at Mount Douglas Park. On a snowy day we geared up and went for a walk. The app brought us to a general area and we had to look around using clues to find the hidden container. We found a few and it was pretty fun.
