Walk with Zeke - Geocaching adventure continues

in #walkwithme5 years ago

Activity = happiness and exercise with the family is a very important social activity and reason enough for me to get away from the computer at times. Geocaching is a hobby my little one has taken up and is a great way to show some more outdoor activity here on STEEMit and encourage others to get out and get moving. I also love to support @lyndsaybowes who pioneered the #walkwithme tag and has a nice STEEMit movement going (See what I did there?)

As a review, I pour a beverage into a water bottle, grab the dog and head out for a nice walk on the hunt for Geocaches with my little one and snap photos along the way for your entertainment.

Here is the projected adventure for today and you can see many grayed out caches that are available when you get the paid for-app. We have collected $4.126 SBD so far (through generous upvotes here) towards the purchase of the full app for my little one and she is pretty excited.

Again, the dog doesn't appear to love the car very much but I can assure you she enjoys accompanying us.

It is a nice autumn day around 15 Celsius which is sweater weather down by the water in town.

Really gets the feet moving.

It is a nice 500 meter walk to the first one from our parking spot so I get to snap a few nice shots.

I am a sucker for texture and keep seeing colour challenges on STEEMit. The shades in here are so subtle and overwhelmed by the landscape that I might be able to get away with this one in the black and white challenge.

You kinda feel small among some of these willows.

We have found the first one and I actually pick it out from 50 meters away across some water. This one is rated as small but has some neat stuff in it. We left a small bag of screws and wall plugs and took a marble.

The walking is great and so is the tree wrestling.

We hit a couple other ones which were sprinkled about the neighbourhood where the trees are showing signs of autumn and the maples are coating the ground.

Not a sign of the apocalypse but tragedy nonetheless as we found the remains of a noble growler from the local brewery which seems to have met an unceremonious end.

A little more tree wrestling as another micro is housed in a cedar.

We struggled to find the last one and that took her phone down to 1% battery power so it was time to take a couple shots on the way back to the car along the water again.

Lessons learned include the fact we should be bringing a pen on us during these adventures, most people out on a walk in nature tend to be happy and friendly in this town, and almost any reason is a good one to be out on a walking adventure.

Get out and have a walk and share it here! Thanks for the generous upvotes which will go to my little one to pay for her app and help fuel our walking adventures. Do you even Geocache bro?

Nothing like spending time outdoors with the family. Exercise and good company. Had 2 of my kids and their families up for the weekend. Wheather cooperated and my son @ryan313 his daughter @ajbasketball3 and son @owenmaxj3 took a great walk through the woods. The kids wanted to go on an adventure and go some place they have never been.
Pretty soon bundling up will be a prerequisite to walking.

Ain't that the truth? We are sneaking up on November already.

We were pretty happy with the weather yesterday and I am glad we are taking advantage of these bonus nice days.

Seems like we both like to help the kids adventure. You never know which of these little moments will become life long memories for them.

Man this is the best dad-kids activity on earth really :D u r totally making me check geo webpages and look for some caches here in Innsbruck :D I'm suure there are hundreds as the town is a touristic place and stuff....but for now resisting the urge as I know myself and once I do something, I go 100%. It seems you and your little princess are already going 100% haha :D especially with the full app now :D

Just about enough for the full app. Then the grayed out ones open up apparently.

She is totally into it and we get to get active while she has fun. Win/win.

What's the name of the app you're using mate?

It is this one. https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/geocaching/id329541503?mt=8

We are looking toward STEEMing our way to the 3-month membership so that she can unlock the grayed out caches.

It works rather well and I didn't expect that we would have so many in our little corner of the world.

Very cool. 👍

@zekepickleman, you've got my full upvote in order to support your little one buy the app.
Nice post! I like your shots.
Btw, I use this tag #walkwithme, but I didn't know who initiated it. Now I know from your post that this is @lyndseybowes.

Much appreciated my friend.

I thought I was being clever with #walkwithme just to find there was someone quicker and cleverererer @lyndsaybowes It was a pleasant surprise as she is an awesome STEEMian and I am glad to have stumbled upon her blog and network of folks.
