Geo Caching

This past weekend, Chris and I went Geo Caching for the first time with some jeeping buddies of Chris. We drove down to Bountiful and meet the other jeepers before heading up into the mountains to find the caches. In case you don't know what geo caching is, let me try to explain...Someone drives up the area where the geo caching will be held and places caches (sometimes coffee cans with prizes or small bottles) and records the coordinates on a GPS unit. They then give the GPS coordinates to the participants, who than go try to find the caches. This weekend, 22 caches were placed that the group was supposed to find. The more caches you find, the better chance you have to get a good prize at the end of the trip. Chris and I drove down Friday afternoon and went up the mountain looking for the rest of the evening. That night, we set up camp at Bountiful peak campground and had a great dinner.

Saturday was also spent mostly in geo caching. Most geo cachers need a good off road vehicle and I was so glad that we took our jeep because there were some (actually most areas) that we would not have been able to reach if we weren't in our jeep.

Chris had so much fun driving his jeep with all the guys from his jeeping website (whose jeeps are really, really big!!) and I was content to ride in the passenger seat! Here are some more pictures of our weekend. Enjoy!

Oh yeah, and we got to shoot some guns as well!
