Today we set off to finish a caching challenge: to complete a caching history challenge at each of the state parks in the metro region. There were a total of 8 state parks, 3 of which we had done earlier in the summer and 3 of which we completed on Friday. Saturday was for finishing the last 2 as well as a special cache that needed to be done only after the other 8 caches were found. That final cache was really a workout as we had to climb a very steep, high hill. The park rangers tell you to allow 90 minutes. We completed it in 60 so that lets you know the pace we were going. Once we turned in our proof of finding the cache we received a funky silver medalion. Some would say it's not the prize but the journey, but I say in this case, the prize was a motivating factor that validated our efforts and made the journey well worth it! That's my reality today.
After we finished the challenge we went for a few other caches on our way back to our campground. All together we walked approximately 10 miles.
