Geogaching

On a hot day in May we set out for some treasure hunting. Mark is the Master Geocacher and selected a cache nearby, a multi-chache meaning there were 4 clues to be solved to get the final coordinates.

We met near the Rose Bowl and the boys climbed the trees while we waited for the others. It seems as we get closer to the end of the school year more stuff is coming up and we ended up with 3 boys.



Master Cacher Mark programs the GPS with the first coordinates.


And off we went.


Somehow we found the front entrance to the Rose Bowl. Actually the first clue was to find the tunnel number to the right.


Then off to the next.


Most importantly we found the guy selling ice cream


Eventually we were on the right track and Jason climbed up the hill to find the cache.


It's an ammo box filled with lots of goodies. Each of the boys placed something in and took something out. Ethan got a Travel Bug that is now headed to Alaska to be placed in a cache by his Uncle Rog.

Geocaching

This Sunday, May 17 at 2pm, we're going to meet to go geocaching. Bring a GPS if you have one and if you choose to bring a small toy, key chain, baseball card, or other small inexpensive item you can swap it for something in the cache. After the hunt we will do our last den activity required for the Tiger Cub badge. The kids will have time to play in the park and we may grill up some hot dogs.

Where is it going to be? Well, this is a hunt, so here's your clue for the starting place...

Pinewood Derby - Part 1

I know you're all going ot be disappointed but my pictures didn't turn out well from today's Pinewood Derby races. I took some with my brothers camera that I hope came out better but it will be a couple of days before I get those. If you got some pictures send them to Mark or me and we'll get them posted to share about.

Anyway, great job to all the Tiger Cubs! All of the cars came out wonderful. Ethan and I were talking on he way to the Derby about how cool it was going to be to see how different all of the cars turned out even though everyone started with the same type of block of wood and we were not disappointed. We have some creative and individual boys. As parents, I think we all did a great job of letting the boys guide this and have the cars be what they wanted.

Back Row: Owen, Riley
Front Row: Ethan, Brian, Jason, Nico

During the races I was proud to see all of the boys cheering for each other.


Hopefully more pictures to come in a few days.

Don't forget, the Pack Meeting was moved to this week. Thursday 23 April at 7pm.
