Geocaching in Florida

It's too hot to Geocache in Florida. Maybe at six in the morning it would be ok. But by ten, you better be headed inside.

We took the kids out to some nearby parks for a few hours of caching. We found two in the first park before the complaining got bad. The kids grabbed the first one as I just about stepped on it without seeing it.
The second cache required climbing past some poison ivy so I let Cari take the kids while I watched the stroller. They found it pretty quickly.

After a short car ride, we started at the bigger park. At Lakes Park we couldn't find the first cache on the list. Cari and I were all around it, but the kids just sat and watched. They said they were melting from the extreme 88 degrees and 150% humidity. We took a short walk over to the lake where the kids did some more sitting on a bench. We decided to give up geocaching for the day and head back home for some swimming.

This is hard for me to fathom, 88 degrees in April! We got up to 47 today and I was thrilled! :)

In Florida, swimming is a better option than geocaching...unless you want to melt.
