Geocaching: Mardi Gras

While everyone else in Louisiana was celebrating Mardi Gras by attending the many, many, many parades, the gang and I were geocaching. I thought I'd make a little post about the different kinds of caches we found this weekend. First of all, I'd like to say that the Lord provided some BEAUTIFUL weather for us to enjoy! It was a real blessing and treat to get outdoors after our illnesses and get some fresh air. A few natural sights we enjoyed while on our hunt were.....
A redtail hawk

A flock of poules d'eau, my first time to see them in the wild!!!
A beautiful old oak tree

This is the smallest geocache I have found yet.
The teeny pc of paper inside of it held only 8 signatures.

This is a 35 mm film canister attached to the top of a fence pole cover. This is one of the most common micro-caches out there. The other is a magnetic key holder.
This is our FAVORITE kind of geocache. Can you see it?

It's an ammo can full of geojunk.

Little Bird shows off some of her junk.

We went to find Kangaroo who was walking around a fishing pond with DQ. Little Bird spotted Kangaroo and they started to run towards each other as if they haven't seen each other in decades!


Can't you just feel the love?

We had so much fun this weekend and found a total of 20 geocaches!!! Our personal goal for 2009 is to find 200, but if we keep going like we have been so far, we might have to double that number!
