My First Denver City Geocache

I had a Groupon Coupon for an almost FREE cut and color today, but it was in downtown Denver. While we have visited a lot of the mountain country, we've not been in the very busy, big city until today. I was going alone, so I wanted to be prepared, and I hoped to find at least one city geocache.

Mapping out my route, and visiting Google maps, I found the salon and metered parking right on time. During the appointment, the stylist told me how to find the city park on my way home. At the park, I found my first "city" geocache down by the river that runs through Denver.

The park isn't the best one in Denver, I'm sure. But, at least I didn't get lost!

 The path...I actually climbed down next to the river, but later discovered the geocache was up on the other side of this path under a rock by some trees.

 Ohhh, there it is as I moved a big rock right where the GPS indicated.

This cache is in need of maintenance as it had nothing in it. Not even a log to sign.

I'm sure there are nicer places that we will find later now that we've "ventured" into the city. This is where I parked. Even parking was a little un-nerving.

Hole In One

After lunch we took a little walk in a local park for a posted Geocache.

Little did we know what an unusual find we would discover.

See this most interesting 'find' in these photos.

We walked around this rock several times and didn't notice the big hole until my GPS indicated it was 'right here!"

 

 The extra bottle is to make the cache longer so we could reach it.

 This cache included a small calculator that worked! We added a wooden coin with Sheba's photo on the front and the words  "Spirit of Sheba" RIP on the back.

 Jim points to the secret hiding place. See it?

We couldn't figure out how the hole got there.

It looks like it was machine-made.

We think someone discovered it and said, "What a nice geocache hiding place!"

Take Care on the Journey,
