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.
