Quick and Easy



Saturday, June 6th, we thought we would take the grandson geocaching again, but we couldn't get anyone on the phone. Oh well, we decided to go to his area anyway, and maybe someone would be home by the time we got there. No such luck. So we checked out a nearby cache on our own.

I think we'll take him back to this one, as it's easy to find, and right about his eye level, so he should be able to find it on his own ..... maybe even with the GPS in hand, as he seems to have quickly figured out how to read it.


There are quite a few caches at Ferguson Forest Centre, and that's where we took him last time. This one though, you could drive right up to, if you wanted to. There were some flowers along the road that I can't identify. And on the other side was a fence. People often walk their dogs in this area, and though there are poop and scoop rules being obeyed, nobody apparently told the pet owners that they should also carry out what they retrieve. We spotted a few plastic bags, with obvious contents, hanging from the fence along the way.

The flowers you have pictured appear to be of the Bunchberry plant. See, http://www.wildflowersofontario.ca/bunchberry.html (What would we ever do without the i'net to found out this stuff, eh?)

Great blog Karen, it's fun for the treasure hunting, but nice to see lots of local beauty spots too!
