On camping trips we now play family games. Like a scavenger hunt where we made a list of GARBAGE to find with points going for each piece, like beer cans you drank= 1 pnt but a beer can that has been retired=5 pnts but a animal scull is 10pnts etc. The game is timed to 2 hours and we had 2 judges( the girls that where watching all the kids ) and a extra points where giving by the judges if you bribed them( beer massages etc.) then a ranger followed one group back and stopped in and was real pleased what we where doing and we dragged him as a third judge( nobody rubbed his foot ) We now did a cache game we all had platic eggs (5) and hid them all with one leading to the next. all familys go hide them putting the first one out with a #5 and then the next with a #4 and the gps cords to the 5th, so on till you get to #1. we then put the gps cords on a piece of folded papper and we all drew and the first back to camp with all caches found gets to pick the family gift first ( each family who entered made up a family gift not going over 40 bucks) BUT WHITE ELEPHANT RULES was in affect, is was a blast!

As a Family we are new to Geocaching , but not new to the game we have played in the past with friends . We where in the Box Canyon area in the Superstition mountians, we found 8 caches and we where looking for the 9, the points where simple, on the East side of the creek under a tree. The spot only had about 2 dozen trees and some brush, we looked for an hour for it ( didnt want to stike out.) it simply was gone . it was a ammo box . That made us ask that question too and does it happen a lot ,I can see in town by muggles but by a fellow cacher?
