Memorial Day Weekend Day #3

Monday was a gorgeous day weather-wise…especially for geocaching! The Geo Idiots and Wonton Cache’n (Baron, Donette, Brie and Colby) got together for a fun outing. We decided to tackle at least part of the Ogden Geo-Clue caching series. Modeled after the game of Clue, there are 10 caches (the nine rooms plus the Secret Passage) scattered around Ogden with hints (suspects, weapons and rooms) to help you discover the coordinates of the final cache location. We were able to find 6 of the 10 spots, trade treasure and write down clues…plus work in a picnic. We’ve already scheduled Round Two for 2 weeks from now!


We started the day at the Wasatch Memorial Gardens in Ogden to decorate Donette's brother's (Greg's) grave with balloons and rocks painted by Brie and Colby.

Checking out the treasure at our first cache of the day...The Library.

Enjoying a picnic lunch at The Library.

Grandma and Brie gathering wildflowers at The Kitchen.

Excited to find the cache at The Kitchen.

Brie and wildflowers.

Colby with a double-stuffed oreo (blue icing) in one hand and blowing the "parachutes" off of a dandelion held in the other, at the Conservatory.

Brie and her Bling at the Billiards Room. She seemed to collect jewelry at nearly every cache.

Hiking along the Taylor Canyon Trail to The Lounge along Ogden's east bench.

Back home in Farmington for a few more caches. This one took us out to see (for the first time) the Farmington FrontRunner Station. We think you have to climb up and over the tracks through this structure.

The actual station on the other side of the tracks

Fun to find Cache #600!!!...Trailhead for the Farmington Legacy Parkway...located about 250 S. and 600 W. It is part of a nice trail system that runs parallel to I-15 and Legacy highway from Farmington to North Salt Lake.

Looks like it was a beautiful day with lots of good geocaching to be had...Clue is a cool idea for a cache series.
