It’s All About Geocaching

We spent most of this beautiful day doing what we enjoy so much—geocaching.

 

 

Over the past year, we have been working on solving geocaching puzzles which is not our strong point. However, there are plenty of them here in Southwest Florida and we completed 40 of them.

 

 

This morning, we drove about one hour from our condo to the Port Charlotte area. There were no historical sites at any of the caches nor did any of them teach us anything at the final placement. The most difficult part was solving the puzzles and we did glean information while doing that.

 

We spent time in some areas that were prepared for development in the past with paved streets, fire hydrants and underground utilities. However, few homes have been constructed. As a result, we drove down deserted roads and wandered around in what looked like jungles.

 

 

 

There was a time today when 5 different fowl were visiting the lake beside our condo. We saw a Wood Stork, a Great Egret, an Anhinga, a Great Blue Heron and a Common Moorhen at the same time.

 

 

 

Each evening, just before sunset a few fowl make a stop at our lake for a period of time before they fly off to where they roost.

 

 

 

 

 

And then, we are treated to another pretty sunset.
