 __Team OJ Goes Geocaching!__ As we began our geocaching journey, we were excited to have 4 geocaches in mind. We drove onto campus with our waypoints plugged into our GPS. At first we decided to use our athleticism and walk to our destination, but after a few steps we gave up on that adventurous idea and hopped in the car instead. The first cache was called “The Well” so we kind of had a slight idea of where the cache was hidden. We followed the trustworthy GPS to the well, and there the cache was! We were so excited that we screamed with joy! We signed the log and headed on our way.



 The next cache was nearby so we thought it wouldn’t be too hard to find. Our GPS tried to make it as difficult as possible for us. We walked around and the GPS said we were getting off track when we were only a few feet away. Jessi decided to bypass the GPS and started looking on the light poles. What do you know; she found the cache on the light pole in an electrical box! After finding two caches in a matter of fifteen minutes, this was becoming a rather fun adventure!  

 We piled up in the car and drove towards our next cache on Kivett Road. We found the spot pretty quickly but we were immediately confused. The GPS showed that we were right on the spot but there was no cache to be found! Being girls, we were not too fond of digging around in the brush and chance running in to not so nice creatures. But, Olivia decided to take one for the team and look underneath the giant Campbell pride rock. SHE FOUND IT! In a cylinder type tube we found a few little trinkets and a log book dating back to 2010! It was very interesting to see that one cache had been there that many years. 

So far we were 3 for 3 so we were going to make one last attempt at finding another geocache. Next stop: bell tower. We thought that this one was going to be simple because there isn’t much ground to cover. I do not believe that we have ever been more wrong. We searched for literally almost an hour and found no sight at all for this invisible cache. We were definitely disappointed that we failed at our final search, but our excitement was even greater because we found 3 out of the 4! Team OJ would definitely like to use geocaching in the future not only in our classrooms, but for our own fun!
