Geo caching out west

Dan was out here last weekend for a little work and some visiting. While he was here I made us all some fantastic eggplant bake (I modified it with a few layers of fresh out of the garden toamtoes) and did some geocaching. I did not take any pictures of the bake I did get a few of the caching in. Dan, Little Dave and I headed out to to find a cache or two up Spanish Fork Canyon.

I had been to this cache before but there were people fishing there that day and I did not want to give it away so I only looked for a little while before moving along. All three of us went down to look for it, but only Dan was brave enough to withstand the ants and get the cache, I guess these western ants have nothing on the fire ants of the east. Dan just pushed through until he found the cache for us.

Dan, Dave and I found this one without a lot of effort, it was in great container that you can see at Dans knee's. It appears to be a leather case from WWI that appeared to look like an old money case from the 1800's. The theme of the cache was Butch Cassidy robing a train nearby of a payroll for a local coal mine. It was very well done and a lot of fun to find.

I spotted this on the way to the 5000 foot Kokopelli, just snaking his/her way along a seldom used trail when we drove by. I think this was the highlight of Dave's day.

Dave named this frog rock....it was not too hard to see it at the time, but now its rather hard to see it. I am sure if you look at it long enough you will see it. Look for the snake, he is up there somewhere as well.

This is one of my favorites, The Blue Anasazi Rain Deer. I had been here before. This was one of my firsts and one that Kristy had giving me with bugs in it. It kind of funny but this is still hard to see from a distance even though it is huge and blue!

We had a great time getting 6 caches for Dan and Dave and 3 new ones for me. Its always great when family comes around and we get to do fun things like this.

Thanks Dan and Little Dave for an afternoon of caching.

PS I think I cook a lot like Grandma Larsen, none of my cooking follow my recipes, the only one that really does is THE BEANS, I would hate to mess those up.
