Geocaching Around Brooker Creek

12-28-10
Luann & I decided to get some exercise today by hiking through the Brooker Creek Preserve and the surrounding area finding geocaches as we go. We always seem to exercise more than we intend to when we hunt for caches...

For this jaunt, we chose to go hunting for geocaches placed specifically by WW.Wilma, a cacher that participated in our last geocoin contest. This picture was made near the final location of a multi-step, scavenger-hunt kind of geocache.

It's hard to tell, but Luann just found a geocache container and is retrieving the logsheet from it. You can see that the Camaro jacket I got her for Christmas is being put to use.

Luann got this shot of an armadillo simply by walking up to it. This little guy was so intent on digging stuff out of the ground, it was easy for her to get this close.

Found it! Our personal philosophy towards geocaching is that if we didn't sign the log sheet, we can't say we found it.

A Great Blue Heron. We saw several of these today.

We came across this orange tree all by itself during our travels today and it seems like the FDA is REALLY interested in it. I mean, there are three bug traps hanging in its branches and in two different languages. I guess they are worried about the dreaded Mediterranian Fruit Fly...

On this hunt, we had to scan the trees to look for the container. Luann caught me doing just that.

We had to work out a puzzle on one geocache and the back side of this monument had a clue that we needed. It is so strange how you going to a public park with baseball and soccer fields, and here is a marble monument dedicated to our armed services right in the middle.

And yet another Great Blue Heron in our travels...

One of the main reasons we like geocaching so much is the abundance of photographic opportunities it presents. There is just so much to see, and the really nice geocaches take you there.


See, I told you we saw alot of Great Blue Herons...
