Our intention was to find the &#8220;Bug Spray Required&#8221; cache, located less than a half-mile from my parents&#8217; house.  Paul got mixed up in the research of the cache and thought it was a wheelchair-accessible find (we should have taken heed of the fact that the name was &#8220;Bug Spray Required&#8221;).  It wasn&#8217;t wheelchair accessible.  After walking through a construction site in the middle of a retirement community and sliding down a steep drop to the treeline, we stomped through the start of the woods only to turn around when we found we&#8217;d have to scale an embankment and cross a stream to get to the location.  Not the best idea with flip-flops and a toddler.  So, we headed home, without the joy of adding our names to the list of that particular cache. *sigh*<\/p>\n<p>It was a learning experience.   We&#8217;ll be better equipped next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having finally acquired the GPS he has so ardently admired, Paul got us ready for our first trip Geocaching.
