Activity #1: Our first visit to the new Bass Pro Shop in Independence. After finding a relatively close parking spot in a jam-packed parking lot our spirits were high walking into the bass and hunting Mecca. With neither of us being hunters nor bass only fishermen the store slowly lost its magic. Wondering throughout the 180,000 square foot store the only thing that seemed worth stopping at was the Fly Shop. Maybe BPS will be more enjoyed on a less busy day.
Activity #2: Geocaching. The Base Camp Boys and Caitlin ventured to a near by park in search of some treasure! With Jordan having minimal Geocaching experience, and Ryan and Caitlin having none, this was going to be a learning experience. With the new GPS device Jordan got at the REI Garage sell exactly one week ago; we plugged in the coordinates to the cache provided by geocaching.com. We stumbled endlessly fallowing the compass on the GPS and finally we hit the jackpot!
Activity #3: Time to eat! Since we tried out the new GPS… we decided it was only far to try out Ryan’s new MSR cook set. We set up camp inside of the WJC climbing hut, so we (and by we I mean Jordan) could climb and eat. Ryan did do the cooking and it was bomb! Caitlin and Abby even joined for some food and good company.
Activity #4: With good food in our bellies; Jordan, Ryan, and Caitlin wanted another crack at Geocaching. So we got some coordinates for caches around Liberty, put on the headlamps, grabbed the bikes, and rolled out into the night. We spent the whole night tracking the caches like pirates; however we only technically found one of four caches in the area. We like to think that the ones we didn’t find were either not there, or due to the satellites (cue P.O.D.) in the sky preventing the GPS to not do its freaking job.
And that pretty much summed up our Saturday.
What we learned-
Bass Pro Shop is over rated.
Geocaching is sweet, and could potentially become addicting.
Ryan can’t climb in cold weather, or on full stomach.
Jordan doesn’t handle bikes well (But just learned how to ride a bike within the last year).
One week till spring break… hola hola back yall.
