Geo-Caching in Caicos

We rented a car today to tour the Island of Providenciales.  But first we got on-line and found some geo-cache points.  On the internet there is a website “geocache.com” that gives you GPS coordinates to TREASURE boxes people have hidden and listed on this site.  We found 3 possible cache’s here so off we went. 

The first one we found easily with the coordinates and the clue was “stay in the parking lot and don’t sink the boat”.  Here is John finding the box and the “goodies” inside of it.  We left a few foreign coins to add to the treasure for the next guy.

Next stop was the National Park on the North side of the island.  The road was pretty good but created from sand and there were a few “I don’t know if we should go through here” moments but a towing company had left many signs along the way “just in case”.  At the end was a light that the birds had obviously made into their home and we left our own geo-cache there.

Finally off to Grace Bay…one of Conde Nast’s Top 10 Beaches in the World.  It is very beautiful but has no sea-shells which is my top pre-requisite for a Top 10 Beach.

Last stop was another geo-cache fine although this “treasure” was a sight, not a box.  It was a Hole…and what a Hole it was!
