Today I had an adventure before breakfast. It was like a Bernstein Bear movie I remember.

Up the hill and through the long grass

Between the interesting and delightful obstacles people have left here



Over the rubbish and around the tricky corner.

Past the scary crows eating from the supermarket rubbish bins
(There was about a dozen but the rest were too busy flying at me to have their photo taken.)
And ...... yes ..... I did take the scenic route

Down the hill and onto a treasure hunt. Hidden in the garden I found it. Something that was pretending to be something else, … and inside a little rolled up paper with names on it.
 

I was so happy to find it.

It’s called a Geocache and people hide it for others like me to find. They have cute names like "Little Frog" or "Homer and the Power Plant". This one is called "Imposter at the church". Usually you find them using the co-ordinates given on the Geocaching.com website.
In my case, my little GPS, (run by a trickster we call Marvin) keeps directing me to the wrong destination. I wanted to go to 27.152.54 South the other morning, but Marvin had his own ideas and sent me to another location.  We spent thirty minutes searching and it was only after I got back home that I realised that he was playing tricks on me. Again. At least the scenery was nice.

Luckily there is enough information on Google Maps to help  me find the caches at least some of the time. .

I love my GPS and it has got me home safely lots of times but Marvin sure has a sense of humour. He often goes the long way around and once he sent me to the wrong Redbank Plains Road and I spent an hour walking my granddaughter and her buggy in a remote area. I had to call my son to come and get us.

I have now found three geocaches and visited three more that I couldn't find without the GPS. I have had a lot of fun looking and I still have a few more to find. There are apparently 1,038,502 caches worldwide.
