Geocaching on One of Our Adventures

On our way to the Coosa River to go fishing we made a few stops to go geocaching. Geocaching is like treasure hunting. There are little treasures hidden all over the world waiting for someone to find them, log into them and then leave them for the next person. Some caches have travel bugs or geocoins that you can take, however if you take something you are supposed to leave something in its place. If you take a travel bug, you need to put it in another cache so the bug can travel around the globe. This particular cache was in Cave Springs. We found two caches here before we headed up to the Lock & Dam where we found a few more. Geocaching fits right in with our adventures nature.

An Adventure to Northwest Georgia

My husband and I moved to Georgia almost 15 years ago and we would often go on all day jaunts to the different corners of the state. We loved to discover new places and things to do. We began to call these trips expeditions like Lewis and Clark. One day my husband said, "Come on Lois we're going exploring." And so we became Lois and Clark and this blog is about our adventures.  I should have kept a journal all these years, but better late than never.
This is the Coosa River at Lock & Dam Regional Park in Rome, GA.  Although we didn't catch anything, there were some fishermen catching catfish all day long. They even caught a 27 pounder. Next time we plan to bring our canoe. The Lock & Dam Recreation area is 73 acres of natural beauty, according to their brochure--we did not explore the entire park.  Just for the record there are 31 RV Campsites, Canoe Rentals, Bathhouse with laundry facilities, fishing pier, boat ramp and boat docks, bait & tackle shop, pavilion, observation Tower (the guy in the Trading Post never heard of the observation tower but it is on the brochure) and there are nature & exercise trails. It is definitely worth the trip up there.

Before we went to the Coosa River we stopped in Cave Springs. Wouldn't you know we could not fish here.
