On Saturday, we threw yard work to the wind and went for 5 more State Park Caches in 3 State Parks: Jordanelle—Hailstone, Jordanelle—Rock Cliff, Wasatch Mountain—Huber Grove, Wasatch Mountain—Tate Barn, and Deer Creek. It was a pretty toasty day with temps in the high 80s. Four out of five of these were multi-stage caches and we had several set-backs including inaccurate coordinates posted on the geocaching website for Tate Barn in Midway, which ended up including 2 trips to the Visitors Center and 2 trips to the Barn! But the best adventure was at Hailstone. Stage 3’s access (a sidewalk on a sand bar) was under water due to the high level of the Jordanelle Reservoir from spring run-off! We were able to get help from a nice family with a Ski Doo who went out on their jet ski and retrieved the coordinates for Stage 4! All in all we spent about 7 hours, but saw a lot of new and interesting spots and had great fun. We did spend an hour+ in the yard when we got home and managed to do most of the laundry. We now have 38 of the 47 caches with 6 more to find and 3 we’ll most likely never get, since we don’t have a boat or an ATV.
