Trail Mix

In March and April of 2016, we introduced our two month old son to Geocaching. As you can tell from the pictures he was completely enthralled with the adventure. His first few cache finds included one in St. George and another one that Torran had placed out many years ago. Little does TNT_Lando realize that this is only the beginning. There will be and already has been many adventures ahead. Happy Caching!

Sorry for the late Adventure Monday post, but we were busy bringing this foxy little man into the world. Now our adventure team is up to three! Can't wait for that first geocache... leap day perhaps??

In March 2014, we randomly decided to take a trip south to Utah to visit family and escape the dragging out of the Canadian winter. While down there, we went with the family on a relatively short trip over to Zion National Park. Though we have been there many times before, each time we stand amazed at the dazzling sights, sounds and epic landscape that surround us. Almost every year since we first met, we have managed to make a trip to this park. We usually try to get a photo at Weeping Rock. Unfortunately this year that hike was too busy. In fact, the entire park was busy the day we visited. With several of our young nieces and nephews in tow we instead choose to do the riverwalk. The riverwalk is one of the easier hikes in Zion. It's a longer hike then some, but the path is a paved one mile and there are many advantageous locations for photos. Although photos really don't do justice to the immensity and wonder of seeing this incredible formation in its natural glory. ...

For the last few years, Geocaching hasn't been much apart of our lives. However, things have recently changed and our focus has again turned to hobbies and sports such as this one.  Since our last post, we have only had a handful of finds, most notable were two virtual caches located in the Maya Riviera of Mexico; one along the edge of Bryce Canyon, Utah; and two located at Long Lake, Alberta.  This past weekend, Torran's work had their Christmas Party in Jasper, Alberta. The weather forecast looked promising so we decided to pack-up the snowshoes and go.  We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived in Jasper and found only about an inch or two of snow. The weather remained beautiful all weekend. The first day, we headed up just behind the Jasper town-site to a popular trail system head. There, we headed off on the trails to grab the three nearby caches.  The snow was so shallow that the snowshoes never left the truck. ...
