And we forgot to mention....



This last geocache marks the 30th successful geocache! Not necessarily the 30th time we have gone out to find a geocache though.....there have been many snow-covered days that had Allegro Mouse's Mom digging through 3 feet of snow only to give up with frost-bitten toes and paws....

That's what we get for starting this sport in winter!

Geocaching Weekend part 1



Out we went to find the last two of the series! It all started out with a short direct walk to find the first of the two caches we had set out to find today. Martin found it quickly with his eagle eyes. Our GPS showed us that the next location was only about 500+ metres away. This seemed ok at the time, except that the trail was not direct. Hannah started getting really tired along the way and wanted to go to sleep. (which really means something for a kid who has fought sleep her entire life!). Mom ended up leaving brother and sister to sit on a log and walked back to get the official geocaching vehicle of the CowTippinIdiots and pick them on the back trails of the Wildman Simcoe County Forest. We ended up driving through some pretty mucky stuff to finally make it to the cache, while a certain allegromouse fell asleep in the back seat!

All in all a great day. We're off again tomorrow to try another geocache called "offroaders dream" let's see how this goes....
