Wine and Adventure

Saturday after Thanksgiving we went wine tasting at the "local" wineries (not in Boise but outside Nampa near Marsing). We went to several that we had been too last year while my parents were visiting and one new one we hadn't visited before. This might be a new Thanksgiving tradition.


Anna came along with us although she was not so excited by it. She did manage to munch on cheese and crackers, soup and chocolate. Usually I would taste the white wines and then go outside with Anna to leave Frank to taste the reds and decide what to purchase. It worked out pretty well. But to add a little fun for Anna, we went geocaching in between. What is geocaching you ask? Well, you go on-line and find lots of places where people have left coordinates. You get the information and then you use your GPS to follow the coordinates. Then you search around the final location to find a hidden box, bucket or some kind of container a person has hidden.



Inside the container are things that people have left. You can leave something you brought and take something else from the container. Then there is also a notebook to log in. Afterward, you hide it again for the next person to find.


A couple of years ago, Frank and Anna made up a geocach box to put on Rimrock. They have instructions about what it is in case someone accidentally finds it but doesn't know what it is. But I guess some kids found it and took the whole thing as it disappeared.
