International Geocaching Day
Every day out geocaching is an Adventure Day.
The 20th of August was no exception. We had decided to go out and find some geocaches to mark and to be part of that day.
We had had some snow fall around our house but not a lot and it didn’t last long, but up the hill, not too far away, it was like this:
We had sorted out a route that would take us to Lumsden, Southland, NZ. Our in-car navigation system chose the shortest route from here to there, which took us over graveled back country roads, roads where the snow still lay quite thickly.
Lunch at Lumsden then cache hunt our way back home.
The gem for the day for us was Waikaia Multi.
This was where our SUV was put to a little test and passed with flying colours.
We have arrived at WP 1.
And we can see the township of Wakiaia in the middle distance. We collected the necessary information from here and headed off through the snow, to find the container. At the cache container site, the snow was “deep and crisp and even, so I snow shoed my search without the benefit of snowshoes, sinking in at every step. Found what I was seeking and signed the log.
Off to the township for a look around and found the Bottle House. We also found a deserted playground, no children in sight, a bit sad.
Today was not about numbers, it was about having fun and so it was.
Another good day out geocaching, but then any day out geocaching is a good day.
