We went Geocaching for a little while on Saturday in the Hoyt Arboretum over by the zoo. Our first attempt was up a short, but lovely trail.

Mr Moo had written the information down incorrectly and this is the "large canopy" tree we thought the cache was supposed to be under.

Oops. Turns out, we were very close to the cache, but, due to the poor notes, we decided to leave this one for another day. Lesson learned: Don't let Mr Moo research the caches.

We successfully found the second cache. Normally, we would take a photo of one of us with the cache. However, due to the relentless parade of muggles (non-geocachers) passing by, we had to be incredibly discreet and couldn't get the photo taken. I did take a photo of the view from the cache site:

If it hadn't been so hazy, you would be able to see Mt Rainier, Mt St Helens and Mr Adams in that shot. We'll have to re-visit the park on a clearer day.

I've added a Geocaching page to my website. There isn't much there at the moment. To be honest, I'm not sure what I'm going to put there since it appears you can't embed anything from the official Geocaching website on your own. Bummer. I'll have to think on this one for a while. In the meantime, if you have an account with Geocaching and would like to visit our profile or add us as a friend, you can find us here: The Moos at geocaching.com
