Today we attempted to go caching during our lunch hour. We did horrible. We started out with the goal to look for 3 different ones in the Salt Lake Area.
The first one was in a water saving garden that was in front of the DNR building. I like the garden. It had a little path the went through it and a variety of plants. We wandered around a bit but was unable to find the cache. It was a little hard due to the number of "muggles" in the area. One guy even sat in his truck and watched us for a while like he was trying to figure out if we were going to mess up the garden or something.
The second one that we attempted didn't turn out much better. The GPS led us to the side of a building but it turned out to be a popular place for the employee to sit and have lunch. We didn't even bother getting out of the car at that one.
We decided to try for one more before out time ran out. We went to one in a park along the Jordan River Parkway. We started off following the path but ended up going the wrong way as we tried to be on the east side of the river. (we should have stayed on the path) We turned around and then hiked down the path. After a while we came to the coordinates. It was actually a nice little path that looped around. A couple of people were there making laps while we were searching in the bushes. It was about 100 degrees and we felt like we were melting but we didn't give up. We wandered all over the bushes. Cheryl even climbed into the bushes at a few places but we had no luck.
I think we might want to skip the lunchtime caching until it cools off a bit.
