Preparation for the Geocaching Creative Writing Field Trip and then the Trip itself! Lost Valley Trail, March 22 and 32
First came another one of Jenni George's creative ideas. Then came Kelly Barban, who was a great and creative sport. I routinely try to suck other teachers into crazy field trips to keep school interesting for myself (and hopefully, at least a few students.) Kelly, thankfully, humored me. 
The downed tree next to the McRoberts Home Site. We put a geocache inside the hollowed trunk. (Kelly's love letters in calligraphy, stained with coffee.)

Some of the nifty items in geocaches. Special thanks to my father-in-law, Nelson Reed, who provided many of the items.
Right after you start hiking the Lost Valley Trail, there is a graded grass trail to your right. If you hike up the hill, you will find green fields and more forest. As I hiked this way in order to give students the chance to strike out on their own away from teachers, the rain clouds cleared and the sun came out. Turned out to be a perfect weather day after a rain-soaked early morning.
I didn't realize this would happen, but when I hiked off trail to the fields and the mini "bluff", I found out I could see groups groups below looking for geocaches.
At the start of the Lost Valley Trail: those who went on the most challenging hike.
Mandi and Molly: Amazing writers, and as it turned out, amazing hikers as well!
