Wildlife Wednesdays: Kayaking the Cedar

by in Cedar River, Wildlife Wednesdays

Last weekend my dad and I took out the two-man blowup kayak down the Cedar River. It’s a great run because at the end we ended up in our own backyard. Even though the measured depth was 1.8 feet, we were still able to scoot along (half the time with our butts touching bottom). I highly recommend rafting the Cedar. In high summer, when the river is deeper people go down in black donuts, sometimes with a cooler in tow. One time I swear I saw someone on a mattress. Yes, a mattress. It floats. Beyond our portion of the river and around a few more bends at a takeout spot there is even a liquor store. Many times people going down the river would wave to us from their donuts and ask how much farther the liquor store was. Oh, river-goers.

Wildlife Wednesdays: GeoTourism

by in Geocaching, Wildlife Wednesdays

Geocaching.com is such a big phenomenon that advertising with the website and company could be quite beneficial. They have another way of advertising for you that is a bit more creative, geotourism. You can utilize your town as a destination and make a special “tour” for participants of your place. What a great tool for tourism!

Wildlife Wednesday: The Very First Geocache!

by in Geocaching, Wildlife Wednesdays

The APE is found in the rugged, snow-capped Cascade Mountains, just a short drive from Seattle, where you can walk through the spooky 2-mile-long Tunnel of Light, find one of the oldest caches in Washington, and visit the APE tribute cache. Plus, we hear that Sasquatch and Fen Dweller have been sighted in the area – so watch out!

Wildlife Wednesdays: Birthday Geocache

Unique Geocache Idea #36928

My friend found a cache where there was a birthday card inside. It is a wonderful idea! To sign a birthday card and then when that “log” is full, it gets to be given to someone for their birthday. 

Here are some links to birthday themed goecaches:

His premise is that  “You must leave something you would put in a birthday card”

When you type in “Birthday” you get 330 hits!

And one you are supposed* to log on your birthday!
