Another day of Geocaching was planned for us. We were going to the Wilsonville area. Dwight had loaded some caches for that location into Bill’s GPS. I was using my iPhone.
Several of the caches were hidden in parks. Sometime the challenge is to find the best way to access the area. Often greenbelt parks are surrounded by neighborhood houses and we must find a designated path between houses.
One cache was hidden at the edge of a filbert orchard. I had never been “up close and personal” with a filbert tree. I was able to see the blooms and the beginning of the nut. I enjoyed the location of this cache hunting place.
We also went to the site of a very old church...over 100 years old. It was beautifully restored, owned now by the Fred Meyer Corporation, and is now used as a pub.
We ate lunch at Sonic before continuing on our quest for more caches. By mid afternoon we had logged 12 finds. So while Dwight and Sheila went into a Starbuck’s for a treat, Bill and I went next door to a Baskin Robbins.
Of course, when we got back home it was nap time. Bill woke me up after an hour to say that we could move from dry camping to a site with an electrical hookup. That was a great move because we will be able to use the air conditioners on these hot afternoons. Yippy Skippy!
