Eagle Greenbelt Geocaching

Before getting too hot on Saturday morning, we went to the Boise River Greenbelt and hunted for more geocaches, while enjoying a stroll along the river.  It still got pretty warm even by noon, when we had got back to the car after our 2.6 mile hike... however,  we were glad we got out early when we saw the mercury hit the century mark later in the day.

Time Profile

Since this was a relatively flat stroll along the river, an elevation profile is meaningless.  However, we thought that a time profile might be interesting.  In this profile, the steeper parts of the curve are where we were going much slower, or were stopped altogether.  The red portions, for the most part, are where we were hunting for geocaches.  By the time we got to the end of the greenbelt, you can see that we returned without doing nearly as much stopping.

Rocky Canyon Geocaching

After a ward campout near Idaho City, we decided to take do some geocaching along a scenic route home.  We were favored with great weather and a list of ten geocaches in our GPS.  We had our most productive geocaching ever, having found nine caches in a single day.  And the tenth, we simply passed by because it was in a public park, and didn't want to draw attention to the cache.

Elevation Profile

The elevation profile conveys three different main coloring schemes.  

• Blue/Purple: highway travel.  
• Green/Yellow: dirt road travel
• Red/Orange: walking (while finding geocache... as you can tell, there were some calf-burning slopes to climb for some of these.)
