Two Sisters' Kiddie Box - Geocaching With Sandy

My little sister came to visit this week from Tampa, FL. It was a birthday trip and the first we've been together in a couple years. We were both so excited that we couldn't sleep! 

While she's a geocaching.com member, she hasn't been able to learn how much fun it can be until we set out as a geocaching team while she was here. We re-visited local favorites of mine, discovered new ones, and today we hid our own new geocache called, "Two Sisters' Kiddie Box".  It hasn't been approved and posted yet, but we expect it to go online any minute.

Hiding a geocache takes thought and time. We had to decide what kind we wanted. What to name it. Where to hide it. How to get the most accurate GPS coordinates, and how to post it online for approval. It took most of the day before she had to catch her plane back to Florida.

Here are some photos of our "Two Sisters' Kiddie Box" and how we hid it!


Our "cache", "Two Sister' Kiddie Box" we hid at a small park near 144th and Zuni in Broomfield, Colorado.
I'll be checking on it and adding new goodies!



Sandy tried to make the opening bigger... Our cache wouldn't fit there.
 We had to find a better spot.

New spot. This one fits nicely!

Can you see it? (We hope not.)
P.S. I took down my GPS down after the coordinates averaged 955 times.
The coordinates better be SPOT ON!

Hint. It's close to this sign on the path.

Another hint. It's near the edge of this path to the lake.
 Take Care on the Journey
Happy Trails,
~Linda & Sandy

looks like a good hide! How fun that you got to cache with your sister! I've been caching with boh of my sisters, its such a fun family activity - even when you're all grown up!

Those crayons wouldn't make it an hour in an AZ cache!
