We found more geo-caches in Dayton on the hills behind Santa Maria Ranch that were quite a bit more challenging but still fun. We had to do a lot more hiking up steep hills but the the kids were troopers and whined just a little. Colton even made it on his own most of the way. There was a dirt road part of the way but the rest was just climbing up the side of the hill and some was straight up.
This was our first cache. I knew it would be especially hard for Colton with the steep drop off at the bottom so just Blake, Megan and Jayce found this one. The container was very wet and rusty so they didn't get a treasure there.

We hiked a half a mile from the first geo-cache to the second one we found. It was a bit harder to get at. We had to go up and across the side of a hill to this road and still quite a ways up to the geo-cache spot. We were all happy to be on the road.
The kids found a wall walking turtle in this cache. They felt they really scored.
You can see the cache box under the tree where we found it.
And onto the third cache a quarter of a mile away from the 2nd cache. It was harder to get at being that we mostly had to go straight up a hill. You can see our van way down behind us. It's one of the little specks on the right. Colton had to be carried small portions here and there.
Mom and Colton so happy we made it to the top.
Here's where we found the last cache. It was a real rocky place. The high rock outcropping was stacked plates of rocks.
The kids likes climbing on the rocks.
