Treasure Hunting in Louisiana

We moved to Louisiana about 4 months ago, and had been geocaching a few times, but not together as a family. In fact, Holli and I (without the boys) broke our one day find record a few months back hitting all the micros downtown Shreveport. We found 10 that day! That was a few months back.

It's been a while since we've all gone out as a family for some treasure, but it's also been 105 degrees for the past month! Today it was cloudy with a cool crisp bite in the air, clouds close to the ground like it was going to rain, but never a drop fell.
Finally! Some relief from the heat and took the first chance to get some treasure boxes. One of stops took us on a half-mile round trip hike on a little island park inside Shreveport near the Red River. It was a big cache full of goods, so it was worth the walk.

One box was hidden near the local YMCA. When we got within 30 feet, we knew it was a possibility that the geocache box was on the other side of the fence. Trale was able to squeeze through the gate nearby to search the other side in the woods. Even after we drove over there to look too, we had no luck finding this treasure today.

Geocaching is ok in Shreveport, but there were only 21 big caches within a 10 mile radius of the house, so we did quite a bit of driving around to get the 4 caches we found today, couldn't find 2.

We had fun and broke our geocaching dry streak! Cache on!
