Geocaching in Lake Oswego

On Saturday, we took the kids out to eat at Baja Fresh (a favorite of ours).  Then we headed over to Trader Joe’s so Meredith could do some grocery shopping.  While she was shopping, I took the kids out geocaching.  We found three caches while we were out.  The kids had a lot of fun finding the caches.  Of course, everyone wants to be the first to find the cache.  We have established rules so that everyone gets a chance to find it.  The main rule is if you locate the cache, you need to walk away from the exact location and then you can announce to everyone that you found it.  This process repeats until everyone has had a chance to find the cache.  The third one we found that night was hard to find and took us about 10 minutes looking through the same shrubs and trees over and over until we found it.

This cache required the kids to get close to the trunk of the tree.

The hidden cache with a million dollars inside……ok, nothing of value is in these caches.
