Emmett Geocaching

 

On a beautiful fall day, we decided to go up to Emmett, Idaho for some geocaching.  We had a successful trip, finding all 12 geocaches that were attempted, deferring the attempt on four of them due to location--we decided to get the biggest bang for the buck.  We even brought Grandma Jo along with us to help find some of the geocaches.  Every member of the family found at least one cache, and Grandma found at least three of them herself.  All of the pictures from the trip can be found here.


Amelia and Raymond examine the contents of a cache on Freezeout Hill, above Emmett, Idaho.
