Someday we'd like to visit geocaches in all 50 states and around the world.

As we travel around North America in our motorhome, we're trying geocaches in different natural areas. So far we've been to the desert, ocean coast, high desert, mountain waterfall, and an ancient lava bed.

The picture on the right was taken near the Creek Confluence in the mountains of southern Washington. Although not on the map, the creek confluence creates a beautiful waterfall we would have missed without geocaching. This picture is the reason we love geocaching! We spent the afternoon near the cache. We ate lunch, read books, sketched nature, photographed the beauty, and relaxed. It was a wonderful day.
