Caching With TeaBird

NovaEagle had a friend over to spend the night. He really likes the woods so I decided to get him out in OMSP and introduce him to caching. He had been in the park on his bike at the bike track and had done some fishing. He had never been to Peavine Falls or on the trails. What better way to introduce him than to take him caching around Peavine Falls. We didn't make it to Peavine Falls but we made it to the Green, Red, Orange and Yellow trails. We did a lot of bushwhacking.

He had a blast and found three caches on his own. NovaEagle and I found them first but we didn't let on. He had to find them on his own and he did a pretty good job of it. He had the GPS the whole time and did a good job of navigating. We hiked a little over 3 miles in about 2 hours. By the time we got back to the Jeep both boys were tired. They snacked all the way from the last cache which was 1.11 miles from the Jeep. That was a long trek.

Check the pictures out below and the two movies. Neither movie has sound as my cheap camera doesn't pick up sound. The first movie is of TeaBird and NovaEagle at the first cache. TeaBird is reading the Geocaching brochure in the cache to learn more about the game. NovaEagle is checking out all the stuff.

The second movie shows a beautiful hollow that we found bushwhacking from the first cache to the second. I way marked that spot so I can take the family back some time. At the end NovaEagle and TeaBird are throwing rocks at a blown over tree root pretending that they are defending their fortified position from attackers. Boys will be boys.
