What would Jesus do?

Well, if he was hanging out with team Angry Beaver today, he would be four wheeling and geocaching.
I not a big fan of holidays. It’s not that I have anything against them. I just don’t like participating in the pomp and circumstance that surrounds them. I don’t like family get-togethers, I don’t like tradition solely for the sake of tradition and I sincerely distrust people that do like these things.
So we gassed up the ride and went and placed a cache in the national forest. It was a pretty sweet one. We drove until we ran out of roads, then hiked up a bike trail.
Once we were happy getting our walk on, we decided to do a little four wheeling.
Ooh, sounds dangerous, doesn’t it? Wild and crazy, even, huh? I bet you’re picturing something like this:
Well, real close, but this is how team Angry Beaver does it:
During our outing, we ate turkey and bacon sandwiches, kettle chips and cupcakes, washing it down with flavored water. Any time we came across a downed tree, if I couldn’t move it by hand, I winched it. We try not to actually run over anything. Bad for the environment, you know.
Then I would return to the Jeep and we would continue, all the while eating our cupcakes.
I think Jesus would have approved.

MMmm … sprinkles … that IS extreme.
We located a cache this weekend and also found a letterbox by accident in the process. My GPSR is apparently lost, so I had to find it based on the “view from the cache” photo someone posted in the logs. That turned out to be quite difficult, but we found it just as we were about to give up.
Come to think of it, that is when I find most of them — right at the last minute. After spotting it I pointed my daughter in the right direction and pretended I hadn’t found it already.

That’s what I do too. Chloe goes nuts when she “finds” it
