Camel's Back Park Geocaching


We have been rather busy lately preparing for our move to Seattle, Washington.  As a result, we haven't had much of a chance to get outdoors as a family.  So, when a Saturday rolled around, and we realized that we didn't have all that much to do, we decided to head to the foothills for a little hiking and geocaching.  We went to Hull's Gulch and Camel's Back parks, where our tour guide (Amelia) showed us all the sites after her week-long writing/nature camp in the same area.  The weather was perfect, and we found all of the caches that we attempted, leaving just one undone, because it was a puzzle cache and we didn't come prepared with all of the other caches we needed find first.
