If they ever came up with a videogame &#8220;Zelda the Windwaker Geocacher&#8221; he might be interested. Otherwise forget it. But he&#8217;s a good sport. The reason we are scouting geocaches is that my friend Baloney of &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsbaloney.com\/\">That&#8217;s Baloney<\/a>&#8221; and I thought it might be fun for her and some of her fellow <a href=\"http:\/\/www.therhok.com\/\">Real Housewives of Oklahoma<\/a>&nbsp;(&#8220;RHOK&#8221;)&nbsp;members to go geocaching and then for us to blog about the experience.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/6562618787\/\" title=\"Kia Soul by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Kia Soul\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/6562618787_992c0789eb-216x300.jpg\" width=\"361\" \/><\/a><br \/><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">(In case you are wondering, all is well with my Soul)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I think it would be fun but I don&#8217;t want to take them to find geocaches that I&#8217;ve already found. What good would that be? On the other hand looking for a cache and not finding it is a bummer. Especially if some of these ladies bring their kids along. &nbsp;And then you want to take them some place different, but not too far away, after all these women are busy. Sometimes I think they should change their names to the Real Busy Housewives of Oklahoma&nbsp;.They are on the go all the time, here, there, and everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>So anyway SPB and I decided to check out a cache in Chandler Park in west Tulsa. The cache is called &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/seek\/cache_details.aspx?guid=e0afdaea-1cdb-4e18-972c-cf0fa692c2f8\">TAG CITO 2011 Commerative Cache<\/a>&#8220;. (A little translation, TAG is Tulsa Area Geocachers, a local geocaching group, CITO is Cache In, Trash Out where cachers help clean up parks and such as a way of giving back to the community.) Anyways, nobody had found it in a while so off son and I went.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/6562595259\/\" title=\"Girl Scout Troop 84 by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Girl Scout Troop 84\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/6562595259_fd72489779-220x300.jpg\" width=\"367\" \/><\/a><br \/><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">(Nope that is not a cache, it really is a birdhouse, I checked)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>There was a little disclaimer in the description. It described the terrain as &#8220;rough.&#8221; That can be troublesome because no geocacher will ever claim that terrain is too &#8220;rough.&#8221; If somebody planted a geocache at the summit of Mount Everest the description would say &#8220;possibly rough terrain.&#8221; Well anyway, off we went. The first thing we saw was the birdhouse. You know if some girl scouts could make it this far, so could the housewives.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/6562603473\/\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" title=\"Chandler Park Geocaching 1 by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Chandler Park Geocaching 1\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/6562603473_fa49fd892b-229x300.jpg\" width=\"383\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">(You don&#8217;t really need to climb this wall)<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<p>Now, I&#8217;m not going to spoil anybody else&#8217;s fun by showing how to get to the cache or the details of its placement or any of that.
