we got up to do a day of geocaching. We started off towards the lake and found that they were doing jet boat racing and having a barbeque contest at the Kwataqnuk resort.
The jet boats were really quite neat, the person driving them had to be get into the bottom of the boat and then the top of the boat was put on by a crane, then the whole boat was lifted into the water by the crane. There were two boats and they raced around the buoys about 5 times. They seemed to be doing time trials but the announcer really wasn’t giving us a lot of details.
We watched for a bit then headed off to the barbecue competition. There was probably about 6 or 7 groups cooking everything from chicken, pork and beef. You could buy dishes and so
me groups were giving away free samples. The group from Les Schwab did a beef brisket with a blue cheese sauce that was to die for. I don’t norm
ally like blue cheese but this was delicious. After doing some sampling we headed out on to the road to do some caches.
The first one we 
went to involved a long walk down to a
view point over a dam. The view was spectacular but we did not have any luck finding the micro. I later found out that it was indeed missing but we got some great pictures. We then did one in a nearby field that was called a hamster cache. Supposedly there are little hamsters hiding out in caches all over the country. So we had a great day of exploring, eating and discovering new sporting activities.
