Geocaching, Sunday, 2:00 p.m.

Tonja and I would like to extend an invitation to any of you who would like to learn to geocache. Please join us Sunday, October 21 at 2:00 p.m. for a truly remarkable hike near Lake Hefner.  As stated before, this provides exercise, but is so fun, you don't know it's exercise.  We'll start with a couple of easy ones.  Once you get hooked, we can do this more often. Oh, and if you have a GPS but don't know how to use it, bring it along...one of us will be able to figure it out.   If you don't have a GPS, don't worry...we can share. Meeting Place:  Murphy Park (see below)  It's on west Hefner road between Meridian & MacArthur.  Just pull into the parking area and we'll find you.  I don't know if a sign marks the park, but you'll see wooden playground equipment.

Please dress accordingly for hiking in a woodsy-type area....and make sure you have comfortable walking shoes that you don't mind getting dirty.   Oh, and if you're worried about "keeping up", please don't.  This is a self-paced activity and I don't plan on walking very fast.  Be prepared to walk about a mile, with stops as needed.  We'll look for about 3-5 geocaches within .3 mile radius.  Most of our route will be on dirt walking/biking trails, but some will be off-course.  Canes okay.  Wheelchairs not accessible for where we'll be.  Kids and spouses are invited/encouraged to come.  The more, the merrier  Please post and tell us if you're going to join us.  If you plan to, we can exchange cell numbers via PM, in case something comes up. Sprinkling rain won't stop me from geocaching.  Thunder & lightning does.  Questions?  Don't hesitate to ask.  See you Sunday!!  Here's what's in the area (we probably won't do all of them): N 35° 35.116 W 097° 36.558  GCHJBY  Mardi Gras OKC N 35° 35.059 W 097° 36.540  GCH4C1  That's Inedible! N 35° 35.254 W 097° 36.455  GCHJFG  Mock Epic N 35° 35.272 W 097° 36.627  GCRTJ4  Take-A-Walk DO-DAD cache N 35° 35.206 W 097° 36.363  GCNJD4  Fairytale Cache N 35° 34.950 W 097° 36.373  GC14ACZ  Walk On Over Murphy  

I am so there! With Camera and GPS ,waiting for instructions.

that sounds like so much fun!!  I"m so sorry I won't be able to make it :o( As posted earlier, I think we are going to go to Missouri this weekend since this is fall break weekend for the kids. Those cache's sound like fun...  Mardi Gras!!  That's Incredible!!  Fairytale!!  Those are my favorites :o) Let me know what you find and if you take/leave anything!! WOO HOO!!  I can't wait until next time.  I hope it doesn't get too cold before I have a chance to make it down there! Thanks for the invite!

Okay...why aren't you taking us to Missouri with you???  Not Fair! We'll cache for you!!!  And, we'll catch you next time. I do want to say to everyone that is considering going - just because it says "hiking" doesn't mean this is going to be hard work.  You'll just be walking a little.  We promise that we're not going to let you over do it - not on the first go anyways! Tonja

Sorry 'bout the Missouri thing :o(  lol We are going to Mansfield, MO to go to Laura Ingalls Wilder house.  My 9 year old LOVES her books and my 14 year old used to like them...  My mom is going with us too.  She likes anything historical!  lol  She's getting to "that age"  ha ha Then, I think we might try to go to Fantastic Caverns in Springfield, MO. I think you'll have just as much (if not MORE) fun on your outting than we will!

Well, anyone that likes anything historical would love geocaching!  There are some really awesome places that are historical sites that are geocaches! Am I drawing you in? T

Hey, I'm IN!!  Remember, I have my Geocaching for DUMMIES book!  lol I just need to find time to get to OKC...  That's quite a little drive for me, ya know!

Hmmmmm, maybe we could plan a daytrip to Bartlesville sometime......I'd like to start enjoying more local things.  It hit me that I try to "buy local" for everything food, etc, but I hop on a plane for every vacation.  I really think there are a lot of cool things we miss because we don't look in our own backyards.

I agree - we could go to Bartlesville - and - we can eat at Dinks! Tonja

Dinks!!  rofl
