Geo Tag You're It

Just recently my younger son has discovered geocaching. I had heard of it years ago, and thought it sounded interesting, but never went any farther than that.

He found one fairly close to our house, and a few down in the flatlands. There were a couple over on the other side of the mountain, so last weekend we trekked over to see if we could find it.

There's a wildlands park over there, and that's where we went. Things I always saw in cartoons growing up, but had never seen in real life, hollow logs, a hollowed out tree, and a bee hive in a tree!!!

It's a pretty wild place, for being in the midst of the city. We'd never been in this area before.

Of course, we hit a couple pokestops and Pokemon gyms on the way, one of them having a raid.

Came across a rope swing along the way.

There was a lot to see out there!!!

This weekend we headed out to hit a couple of raids in Pokemon Go, as well as spinning some pokestops. We each had two Team Rocket battles, too. After the second raid, he saw that there was a Snorlax a ways over from where we were at, and he was off!!! I caught up a little after, and fed it a golden raspberry and used an ultra ball on it. It was considerably higher level than the one I have (which I'd caught in a battle encounter), and after it broke out of the second ball, it ran away!!!

But my son finally got one of his own!!!
