If you are not familiar with geocaching it’s basically hide and seek using a GPS. I love geocaching because it takes you to unique places that you would never visit otherwise.   Find out more about Geocaching: https://www.geocaching.com/play The first Geocache my mom and I tried searching for that day we couldn’t find right away. We started walking and getting close to the cache, but we were in the middle of a bridge. When we looked over the bridge, we realized there was an entire parking lot about 100 feet below us.  We looked around and couldn’t figure out how to get to the parking lot. We wandered back a couple of tenths of a mile and there was this narrow driveway between these houses that were on top of each other that led down the hill and to the parking lot. We wandered down and were very surprised and basically finding a garage carved into the side of the hill. Well, that of course is where the geocache was.

The area did not really match the description of the cache. We wandered around and we happen to find a very old broken down bridge that went over a creek.  We climbed over the bridge and continued wandering. We ended up in this really cool place. Its used to a park called Fort Dells.  There was an old railroad cart base and an old safe, There were some tunnels. Just a really cool place.  We looked around and didn’t find the cache. However when we got home and loaded the pictures to social media to share we found that cash was right in the center on one of my pictures. I’m not sure how we missed it while we were there.
