Geocaching

This past Friday Brendan, a few youth group teens, and myself went down to the Florida State Caverns in Marianna, Florida. We had a good time despite a few surprises! When we got to the state park we found a pavilion to eat our picnic lunch at. As we were finished up we spotted an alligator in the pond about 100 feet away! If you know me, then you know my fear of these terrifying creatures. Therefore, I was not with the boys when they went to "check it out". Turns out the creature was around 5-6' long! Thankfully we were headed away from that pond! The rest of the day I had my guard up though!

We headed into the woods following a trail while battling the mosquitoes! They were horrible! Next time we will be a bit more prepared; 4/5 of us had never been geocaching before! We didn't have to go far into the woods before we traveled just a few steps off the trail to find the geocache. It took us a little while once we made it to the location...but we eventually found it!
As we were walking out back to the road from the woods it started to rain. We weren't even a mile from the car...but we were all DRENCHED! (No pics of that though...sorry!)
We decided to do one other geocache before we headed home. It was a "Grab and Go" cache..but it took us a while! HahaLots of fun was had by all! In fact, I wouldn't mind doing it again! (Minus the mosquitoes rain!)
