We also went high tech with our geocaching and instead of juggling papers and note cards we sported an ipad with gps. Except for the part where polarized sunglasses don't work too well for screen viewing, it worked perfectly.
The first day we drove down to Lake Alpine and started hunting. The first site we wanted to hunt turned out to be an island and since we were boatless and not looking for a swim we went for the next one on the list. We found this right next to a pretty little stream across the road from the lake.
Inside, we found something we hadn't found before.
Hello? July? Clearly not the best hiking shoes for the weather. Did not expect snow.
Under a bridge we found this little cache.
So glad I could be useful.
We think we found the right spot but in spite of our best hunting efforts could not find the cache in the pine trees.
At this point it was getting past lunch time and we were hungry. We drove to a nice picnic area beside Lake Alpine and gathered up our lunch things. On our way to the table the rain began to fall. We decided maybe lunch indoors would be better.
A very good decision.
By the time we were in the car, the rain started falling in buckets. It was a wild ride back to the condo. So nice to be dry indoors - with heat!
More soon!

Marcella, I suspect the mosquitoes would have left you alone if I'd been with you. ;) They come from miles around to feast on me. Bloodthirsty little vampires.
Well, we must be extra sweet then. It is amazing that the only mosquito in the county will somehow find us.
