Kamloops Caching

We went out to Kamloops this weekend for a nice break. Had a chance to relax, spend money, wait in a vehicle and go geocaching. Probably the last trip for me this year.

Got to Kamloops Friday Evening after school, and went to the hotel, for a swim, watch TV and get ready for bed. Also managed to get Beacon at the Point Cache, which has been disabled for a very long time.

Day 2 was interesting between Daniel, Dad and I going caching between Mom and sisters shopping stops.
Managed to find a bunch that day. Got some pics from them. Some of the caches were definitely cool. Some sweet ideas out there.


Not exactly the greatest pic, but hey. It's a pic. Cache in my hand.




Daniel at the next cache site. This one must have required some work to hide. It sits in plain site, yet is unnoticed. Some nice welding, painting and magnetic work. Well Done!


Another one of me, at a nano. Took a bit searching that fence but i got it eventually.


There were also a few that we couldn't find. This is one of them. Nice view though. Got some pics and 3 panoramas. Will post two below.












This is #1


And This is #2. you will probably have to click on them to view the actual entire thing.

That night i watched Avatar. Sweet movie, and when it ended at 1:00am, Sunday, and it was snowing liek crazy out, it made the perfect ending for a good day.

Sunday i also managed to snag a couple more before heading back home.

Winter Caching

It's been a long time since i was actually out caching! Today, i managed to get a chance to do 2 close by caches left in the Salmon Arm area.

I drove out, (yes drove! Got my license on the 17th...) and we got cache #1, EZ Cache, first. Glad to get this one as it's been around a long time and i don't get out here very often, aside from XC skiing.

Below is me and Cache:



After this cache, we drove up to the chalet, so i could go run 1km straight into the snowy woods after the next one.


Found between a Camel and Ermine next. Then for a very long snowy trek back.




All in all it was a great trip. Nice to finally get out caching again.
