Geocaching in Sisters.

Frank and I ate lunch at Aspen Lakes Lodge. I happened to open up my iphone and checked my geocaching.com application. To my surprise I discovered that a microcache was hidden about one tenth of mile away from where we sitting, so naturally, we had to take advantage of the situation.
The application was fantastic and the iphone gps system navigated flawlessly to the spot. Frank was the first one to see the microcache hidden in the recesses of the tree trunk - it was surrounded by moss. We had to take a picture to celebrate our first geocache with the iphone and the first geocache in Sisters. We will be doing this more often!
