Geocaching in Sycamore Canyon


The Shultz family invited us to go along with them to go hiking and geocashing. We have been wanting to go geocashing for a long time now. Geocaching is a worldwide game of hiding and seeking treasure. A geocacher can place a geocache in the world, pinpoint its location using GPS technology and then share the geocache’s existence and location online. Anyone with a GPS unit can then try to locate the geocache.

We started here in Sycamore Canyon. The weather was beautiful and the company was fun! The kids (and me) were excited to start out and find some treasure!
Yay! We found our first Geocache!
We definitly scored on this find! It was packed full of kid's toys!
We were off to find our second geocache of the day and were succesful.

We finally started to hike down the canyon because our last two were in the bottom.
What a beautiful hike! The scenery and canyon walls were gorgeous!
Here is our treasure seeking crew!
We came to a beautiful creek. The water was so still and clear. It was breathtaking!
Here are our rock posers! Every big rock they found they all climbed up and wanted a picture.
From bottom to top: Carter, Livy, Elizabeth, Nikki & Kaylee.

I had to take this picture. What a cute group!
Some of the terrain was treterous with boulders and rocks.
Also we had many bridges and stream crossings. At the other side of this log, There was a rock that said, "The Bridge to Taribithia". The kids were so excited!

This is how Carter crossed most of the streams.
This was at the very end of our hike. GORGEOUS!!! There was a geocache high on the cliff side. Jason Shultz went to go and find it and slightly injured himself. Thanks for taking one for the team Jason!
