One of the latest activities that we have been having fun with is geocaching or "treasure hunting" as the boys like to call it. For those of you unfamiliar with this new term it involves using a GPS to find caches (posted on www.geocaching.com) that have been hidden by some other fanatical geocacher (don't you just love these newly fabricated words). Once you find the little waterproof case you open it, sign the log inside, and leave a little trinket/take a little trinket. The kids love it!
Our good friend Travis Fraser was traveling through Anchorage on his way to a fishing weekend with his buddies. Knowing he enjoys this new "sport" I took him and the boys to the Glen Alps area with my GPS and a couple of cache coordinates. Jackson and Asa loved holding the GPS and following the red arrow while watching the distance to the cache get shorter and shorter. When we finally reached the bridge we hunted for the little cache box for about ten minutes. Finally, success! As you can see it was a beautiful fall day in the Chugach Mountains.
