Geocaching in the Islands

  Yesterday I went geocaching with my family. The first cache we hit was at the head of Isle La Motte. We found it easily, wrote in the log book, and went to the next cache. We didn't take or leave anything because if you take something, you have to leave something, and we forgot our cache trinkets. Also, we had to be careful because my mom saw shotgun shells, and it was right after hunting season started.
  The next was an earthcache. An earthcache is actually a quiz that you answer with whatever kiosk is at that site. It was at the Fisk Quarry on ILM. What you do is finish the quiz, email it to the cache owner, then they will give permission to post that you found it on geocaching.com. The third cache was close to an area providing a place to play a certain sport.=P  It is what's called a park n' grab. That means it is very close to a parking area.
  The next was supposed to be a long hike, but we never found it! We hiked for 90 minutes with a stroller for nothing! It ended at a dead end of water & a beaver dam. But on the way back it was easier, we found another way. After that, we were really tired, so we went to Hero's Welcome to eat, but they don't serve after 5:00. We just had some chips then. We kept geocaching then, and went to another cache, but we never found it! While I was there I saw a cool, huge, bulbous, mushroom! Then we went to 2 others, and found them! We wrote in the logbooks, then took & left something in each cache. We went home after that, we were hungry and wanted to watch a movie.
