My Dirty Little Geekret 2

In an effort to get into better shape, Sarah and I have embarked on a new hobby called "Geocaching." It involves using a GPS receiver to find the coordinates for previously hidden containers. Each container contains at least a log book for the finders to sign. The caches are hidden in both urban and rural locations. My favorite hunting place so far has been Sycamore Canyon Park. Sarah and I went searching off Central Ave. last month and found 6 different caches. In the process, we hiked about 2 miles over hilly terrain. On Friday we took the boys to the south end of the park and found 4 caches. That day we hiked 1.5 miles. Here are some pics from our two trips:

Sycamore Canyon Park is a gorgeous area that I had never explored until Sarah and I discovered geocaching. We are looking to introduce others to it if you are interested.
