PLANNING
We were geocaching from 10 am until 1 PM. We set out with a list of 3 geocaches, all on the west side of the coulee. Two of these were caches that I had failed to find on an earlier trip.
OUTCOME
Today, with a fair amount of perseverance, we located all three caches. Fantastic! This is also the first time that I have found 3 in one day. I now have a total of 10. This was a good morning, for many reasons. First, it got us both outside for a full 3 hours, something we have been letting slip this summer. Second, we found all three geocaches on my list, two of which were my second attempt. Third, we saw one deer, one hawk (Swainson's), a Western Tanager (a new lifer for us) and a Snow Bunting (a second new lifer for us!). Fourth, for the first time, we left something in two of the caches. We left an Ayer's Rock key chain in the Hillside cache. This seemed particularly appropriate for this cache. We took a firecracker and a broken pencil from the Hillside cache (simply because we couldn't fit everything back into it). I will sharpen the pencil and replace it shortly, assuming I can find the location again.
