Adventures in Geocaching – Fort Fisher
We took a recent "last minute spur of the moment" type trip to the beach this past weekend and visited one of our FAVORITE North Carolina State Parks - Fort Fisher. My husband looooooooooves to fish out on the rocks, so while he was occupied with his favorite past time, my youngest and I decided … Continue reading Adventures in Geocaching – Fort Fisher

We checked out a few of the trails that we missed the … Continue reading Hagan-Stone Park – Day Two

The park spans 30 acres and features walking trails, a playground, and a meadow in addition to nearby river access. The park’s playground features a … Continue reading Saxapahaw Island Park
Adventures in Geocaching – July 20, 2019
We knew that today was going to be really hot in North Carolina and that it wasn't going to be a fabulous day to be outside, let alone bushwacking through the woods looking for geocaches. We decided to get up really early in anticipation of the heat and head over to the Haw River paddle … Continue reading Adventures in Geocaching – July 20, 2019
