Caching In Ybor

Karen and I decided to team up and go hunting for a WhereIGo cache and a couple of geocaches too. A WhereIGo cache is one that requires a PDA with an integral GPS inside in order to play the game. It took some doing, but Karen kept me on track.

This monument is in honor of the Theodore Roseveldt Rough Riders.

Apparently, there is a time capsule located here.

Wow, what a nice piece of marble!

And here is some more detail. Remember, you can click on most of these images to see a larger view of them...

This was one of the stages in the first geocache we went for after completing the WhereIGo tasks.

I was taking a picture of this statue when Karen turned around and noticed what I was up to. I like the little side-step she did in an attempt to move out of the image.

There are all kinds of statues in this Ybor City park.

Ok, I wonder what the "Bureaucratic Blunder" was that caused the fire house/museum to be torn down...

Next, we went over to a park near the football stadium so Karen could find some more caches. Here she is, hot on the trail of an ammo box.

It's located somewhere... that-away!

Ah-hah! She found it. Nothing like finding an ammo box with trade items (and a couple of bottles of water) in it.

The next one she found required that she open a combination padlock.

...and it had tree frogs inside the container, one of which jumped on my sleeve when the box was opened.

There was this cool looking caterpillar on the side of the box too.

Yeah, it's always a great thing when you find a geocoin-traveler in a geoocache container. We did quite a bit of walking today, and Karen's grand total of caches she found in one day was 9. Not bad for a days work...
