D'Arbonne side trip

At the gathering this weekend, the wife, kids, and our friend Laura stayed at the cabin on Saturday, and found out about something the park offers called geo caching. There was an app they downloaded to their phone that provided coordinates that were used to move down trails and find hidden boxes of items left by past 'explorers' that went looking for them and did a swap. Sounded like a pretty fun adventure, and she took some pictures of the fun, so thought I'd share.

Anyway, may be too many pictures, but they sure seemed to have fun so I thought I'd share. If you make it to the park, give the office a call and they can provide details about this park 'attraction'.

thanks scott for posting this. I will make sure to show Shannon. tell tammy and laura I said thanks too.

doc :)

Looks like they had fun!! Nice idea. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing Scott and my wife was not happy that I didn't tell her what cabin yall were in so she could have went with them. I heard her talking to your wife Saturday night so I am sure you have heard the story too! lol Well next time, I will make sure she knows where your family is staying so they can get together.

Yeah, I was in the same boat Dwyane. I told her, "it was on the website" after she let me know she wasn't randomly going around knocking on cabin doors. Friday the kids were supposed to work on school ( both are homeschooled) but I heard they road bikes all day. Neither has had one for a while.

I guess once I was at the lake, I had a one track mind...fishing time! Please apologize to Angie for me.

Enjoyed the pics. But I would have the fishing first and foremost as well. Thanks for the post and there is never too many pics IMHO.

good report.........

That's pretty cool. On a side note my wife home schools our children as well. Seems to be the thing to do now days.
