Becoming Junior Rangers at our National Parks

The Ultimate Treasure Hunt: Geocaching Trackables
Have you enjoyed geocaching so far? Are you ready to own a geocaching trackable or host your own cache? Then you’re a treasure hunter for sure and you know the excitement of geocaching. Congrats!
If you haven’t already read my post on geocaching 101, click here. It will give you a good overview of the basics of geocaching.
This Wonder Woman trackable was put in a cache in Massachusetts and is owned by my daughter Evelyn’s Girls Scout Troop. I hosted the geocaching badge for her troop and they put this travel bug, along with the Wonder Woman LEGO figure out in a cache with a fun mission, to meet Girl Scouts and Girl Guides in 2 other countries. I’m not sure how long it will take Wonder Woman to achieve her mission but the girls are excited to track her progress as she makes her way around the world. The girls are Junior Scouts right now in 5th grade. I hope they keep up with this activity as they get older and they send her on more missions.

An Epic White Mountains Road Trip with Kids
All Photography was provided by White Mountains New Hampshire, except where noted.
We are planning an epic White Mountains road trip for later this summer. The girls have chimed in with things they want to do. They are excited to take the cog railway up to the top of Mt. Washington. And Clint has his own favorites like hiking but I’m all about the waterfalls. I have quite a few hikes to waterfalls planned and I’m excited about them. Clint grew up going into the White Mountains for every season of the year and he definitely has his opinions on where to go and when. Some of my favorite moments we’ve spent in the White Mountains have been the impromptu stop along the side of the road because we saw wildlife, sometimes a deer other times beavers in the rivers and always the birds. New Hampshire’s White Mountains has so much to offer.
