I Scream For...... Geocaching!!! The rain drizzled down in the November crisp air. It was one of those day that you could snuggle in your thick, warm blanket with a hot cocoa and be satisfied. Breigh, my little sister, was craving the complete opposite. She requested ice cream over the hot cocoa that I had suggested, so we decided to go the only place in the area that could satisfy her craving, Sunny Skies. I grabbed my car keys and headed for the door. As we drove down Highway 27, I turned on my Geocaching App. I wondered if I could kill two birds with one stone. The car was vibrating as Breigh blasted Demi Lovato as she sang on the top of her lungs and she ignored me as I was trying to hand her the phone to keep an eye on the app. She roughly pulled the phone out of hand when I turned off her music. “Really? You don’t need to be a butthead!” Breigh yelled. “Well, listen better.” I said as I hand her the phone. She kept her eye on the phone as s he danced to the rhythm of her music. I giggled softly at her facial expression and awkward dance moves. “Oh! There is one a half mile away.” Breigh said. I glance at the phone and told her to press on the icon and press “Start” in the corner. The first Geocache we had tried to find was nowhere to be found. I stomped my feet on the ground in frustration. Breigh shook in the cool breeze that grazed us both. “Let’s go. We’ll try another one.” I exclaimed to her as I wave to go to back to the car. “Find another please.” As she tried find another one, I heard Breigh say “Oh.” “What?” “There is one at Sunny Skies!” she told me with excited tone. “Awesome!” When we pulled up to Sunny Skies as the open sign flashed oddly, it was bare with exception of one car. It turn ed out to be one of Breigh’s friend, Chris and his family. As we walked into the little store, Breigh ran up to Chris to squeeze the life out of him as he merily dropped his cup of ice cream. He was tickled to see Breigh until he almost dropped his ice cream. They chatted for a few minutes as I ordered my cone of ice cream, coffee and salted caramel. Yummy! “Hey! Do you mind if Chris helps us?” Breigh asked me. “Oh no! More the merrier!” I started up the app to start the Geocache. We followed the app, but I got a bit confused. “The sign? Really?” I thought. I looked all over the sign and found nothing. Then I heard, “Hey! What about this?” Chris was pointing at the telephone pole. I ran over to what he was pointing at and exhaled harshly due to frustration. “That is something completely.” “That isn’t it? You can scan it to see where that thing y ou are looking for is.” “That's not how you do it.” I said as I laughed. “But nice try.” “Is this it?” Breigh questioned as she showed a mini baggy underneath a magneted cover. “Yes! You found it!” I grabbed the baggie from her and opened it to look over the names and years that people have come to find this extra small geocache, that only the patience can find. “Let’s leave out names!” I exclaimed with overwhelming excite ment. I ran to my car and tore a piece a paper and had all three of us sign it. I folded it and then placed it in the baggie. “There we go. We have now started our Geocache adventure.” I whispered as I placed the baggie in the cover back on the open sign. Then we sat down to finish our odd November snack and talked about our day. I felt satisfied with myself. I can’t wait to continue Geocaching.
