nope, had to look that up.
So, my understanding is that it's like some sort of worldwide GPS scavenger hunt?
Sounds interesting and fun!

Yes it is, especially when you get your family (or friends) involved.
We use geocaching . com and use a handheld gps (you can use the app on your phone, but if you're in a spot with no cell service, then it doesn't work. The actual gps works better.) You upload the coordinates to your system or app and then it'll take you to the general area of the hidden cache. General, because sometimes the cache is hidden up in a tree or in a rock crevice. The people who hide the caches leave clues to the exact hiding spot.

Also, I hope you are having a better day! Sorry you had a crummy morning *sending you a hug*

Plus too, I thought it was a general rule (Sargents rule too😉) that if you took something, you added something back in. At least it was the case the time i played.

As far as the guitar pick and not playing a guitar....🤔, well, that's one way to keep it in good order.

Hikes are fun, even better when you have cool things like waterfalls or magnificent views to see. There is a trail that I have gone down more then once. This one time (must have been springtime, I rounded this corner to this opening in the path and there must have been hundreds of butterflies all just fluttering about. As they were on the trail, I walked through them to keep going on this trail. Very very awesome experience!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the swap in geocaching! We have a little bag of trinkets to trade in if we found something we liked in a cache. Yes, swapping is definitely encouraged.

Waterfalls are amazing. I just read an article about a fish in Hawaii that actually climbs the waterfall cliffs (how I ended up coming across that article is another story *haha*)

Wow, that must have been such a beautiful sight! Were they like monarch butterflies?

Also, I forgot to ask: is Jellystone park (as you mentioned earlier) the place where rocks are made out of jellybeans? ;)

Hey, now that's a fish I'd love to hang out with, very cool. Thanks for sharing about it, now sure I would have run across the info myself just in general. Did you know that there is a crab called "coconut crab" that is half the size of the trash cans, the large trash cans, not the kitchen ones? Things are huge! Probably could take off a debit or two if you to close (and didn't have a trash can lid to defend yourself😄). See if I can find a picture of them before sending this off.

Waterfalls are awesome! I love to hike in and just hang out at the base of them, take some pictures and take it in. Got a great shot of this one as the sun began to rise one day. The fog was around the top of it and the light was just right! I had to sleep in my car to be there at that time of course, but was completely worth it!

Been a while now, but I do believe they (the butterflies) were monarchies. They are just beautiful Blessings from God. Spring is a nice time to hike. See the new flowers blooming, and of course the butterflies are out and about. More green about the landscaping too.

🤔 Mmmm, I'm pretty sure that's where the bears steal picnic baskets, but you might want to ask BooBoo just to be sure😄.

Nope, I am not. Just up late.
How come you had a rough week, care to share?

Either way, praise be to God Almighty for seeing you through it.

Well, I pray then that God's Loving arms are about you and keeping you safe. May his Protection be with you and his Grace is upon you. May his Peace be with you.
Hang in there, this too Shall Pass...

Wow, it looks like something from a horror film! I've heard about them, but wasn't sure if the photos were exaggerations. Guess not.
(Hey Marvel/Star Wars, I have some inspo for your next superhero/villain/Jedi movie! Lol)
Thanks for sharing this cool picture.

Waterfalls are just mesmerizing. The bridal fall at Yosemite is just fun to watch as it cascaded down the cliff; then the wind blows and it looks so delicate and wispy!
Ooo, that cool that you got a cool shot of that waterfall! Fog and light at the same time?! Sound incredible!

Butterflies are my favorite. Their sole purpose is to bring such beauty to the world! My younger sister and I used to raise Painted ladies when we were younger, and a friend at the time raised monarchs. Would totally do that again.

How has your weekend been? Have you started winter camping?

Wait, there are bears?!!!
(actually, I live sorta rural, and some neighbors have said they spotted a couple small bears lurking about... *clutches picnic basket tighter*. I think I should worry more about the rabbits making off with the baskets because they're everywhere where I live. And it probably didn't help that I left them some food over the summer...)

Hi Matthew! I don't think we've officially met yet. I'm Lily. So sorry to hear that you've had a rough week. I hope it's getting better. I'm in the same spot as BBG; can't send a message, but I can talk on here. I can also pray for you this week, if that helps. :)

Ah, I don't use the app, just the desktop version. Have they fixed it yet?

So you live in England? (I'm guessing from your username). I live in the U.S.

How big are your picnic baskets? Or should I say How big are the rabbits, that they can make a break for it with your picnics baskets😄?

Well, be careful around them Bears. Only one I have seen, outside of a fence or cage, was inside of a city park in a neighboring town. Appearently, arounding to the policeman that I let know about it (after trying to clear out the park at night time while trying and not raise a panic amongst the villagers). Well, appearently One of us did not belong in the park that night😄.

I'm sure you know this already, but if you see Cubs, Stay clear of them! And the mom, if you see her too. Very protective of her Cubs!

And, on a unrelated note, appearently bear cubs can dance, who knew.
