Don't+Let+the+Rain+Cache+You

"Don't Let the Rain Cache You" by Kelsey Brown

I decided to trek home to Duplin County for my geocaching adventure with the worst sidekick in the world.

Boy, was it a trip. It is about 60 miles on i40 East.

Since, my k9 companion (Cocoa) was so grumpy, I picked up another. Unfortunately, my hometown is full of wide-open fields, lots of woods, and other areas that I would prefer not to enter. Either way, I decided to give it a try. The first problem I had was finding a trustworthy app to use on my iPhone.

Secondly, it is hard to maintain service in the deep, deep country. The cache was at my district high school stadium. As a former cheerleader, it brought back memories. The cache was behind the concession stand and near a bush. It had old game schedules in it. My friend and I enjoyed reliving our high school Friday night lights memories while geocaching.

Go Dogs!



Our second cache was a bit difficult due to the weather. Puppy does not like the rain. It was at a baseball field. I guess the rain was interfering because the GPS was giving me a run for my money. Following the GPS lead us to center field. __ I saw a lot of finders on the website update the coordinates but I had no clue which one to chose. __ If it weren’t raining I would have searched a little harder. The clue says that you have to be tall to find it. As __short__ as I am, I’m batting a thousand. Hahaha

Either way this mini adventure was quite fun. With a little better planning and watch on the weather, I would love to try it again.

Check out the link for a few of my adventure photos. I created a lesson plan for second grade. However, it can easily be modified for any elementary grade level. It focuses on math skills but it teaches technology usage, social studies, and literacy skills. I hope you enjoy the lesson.
