Geocache Description:


*update*  After the extensive logging by the state, I rehid this.  I'm hoping the cover will be better as vegetation grows back. Please cover it well after you find it.  This area is busier and busier all the time.

 

This cache is being placed in celebration of my retiring from thirty years of teaching here in North Idaho. I always told the kids that someday I would hide a cache for them. Now I finally have time! 

I taught over 2,000 students between Bonners Ferry, Fernan Elementary and finally at Skyway Elementary School. During that time I had the pleasure of teaching hundreds of elementary students to geocache. I had geocaching clubs and lead family field trips, sent out class travel bugs for students to track, and loved sharing stories of my caching adventures. I really loved sharing the adventure and skills of geocaching with kids!

In the spirit of working with the children, this is a family friendly cache. It’s a full sized ammo can that is full of goodies to bring back the joy in finding fun stuff. I sincerely hope visitors will remember to leave items when taking swag so we can keep this a fun one for the kids.

If any of you were part of my journey, thank you and I’d love to hear from you!

 

**Cache is located off a dirt path that is flat and easy to walk, but then a little bushwhacking is required to get to the cache itself. Park st the barricades at the road for the walk to GZ. You’re looking for a full sized ammo box hidden, but not hidden too hard. It’s easy enough for the kiddos to find.
