RedRock Geocaching

Just in case you are trying to orient yourself...

This picture was taken from the red rocks Northish of the St. George Temple.

I think it's called Pioneer Park.  

I never thought that you could find so many hikes, trails, nooks & crannies so close to downtown SG

 Cole was just climbing around these rocks like a lizard.  Kinda freaking me out.

 Once we discovered how much space was out there to be discovered, we pulled out the cell phone/GPS and looked up some caches.

Found It!

 Had to take a picture of myself to document my participation.  I love how you can see my arm in the reflection.

 Kelli & Sierra

 Cole & Rick were looking for another cache...the clue said that it was in a nook & cranny.

There were lots of nooks & crannies.

 Still looking...

 Found it!

Then we had to find our way back down.  We decided to follow this fault line.

 Perfect weather.

horray!

 We were a little thirsty, so we found this pond.  It was mostly clear, so we took a big drink.

Not.  We had to listen to the giardia story again.  

We won't be drinking stagnant, green, pond water, EVER!

This was a fun hiking area.  Easy for the kids (not so easy for me, just 24 hours after running the 1/2 marathon, my toes were not yet working correctly).  Lots of trails.  Lots of cool rock formations.  Close to the parking area.

Geocaching at the END OF TRACK

We made a quick trip to Scofield a couple of weeks ago.

Summer had checked on the internet to see if there were any geocaches nearby.

There were TONS.

The only problem is that it didn't do any good to download the GPS coordinates to my phone because there is no cell service and therefore no GPS.

(And there is no internet service, natural gas, or indoor plumbing.  kind of.)

So, Summer wanted to ride towards Clear Creek because she thought there was a geocache.

I thought it was crazy, but I always love to ride to Clear Creek, so we headed out one evening.

The only clue that Summer could remember was "...end of the track"

Which totally sounded vague until we saw this sign.

 It was in a camouflage colored baking soda type container.

We scored some cute little trinkets and filled it with some of our own junk treasures.

Good thing for all of those coal trains that there is a sign warning them that it is the END OF TRACK.

Otherwise, they might run into that big pile of rocks.

PS.  I will be leaving for Scofield tomorrow.

For a week.

If you need to get a hold of me...

too bad.
