GeoCaching in Idyllwild

As soon as the weather started to turn to fall in October we headed up to Idyllwild tucked away in the mountains just west of Palm Springs. A nice mountain town with mom and pop stores, natural food grocery stores, coffee houses, and this day a cheese and wine festival featuring local vineyards. We stopped at the local candystore for choclate covered pretzels and sour patch kids and laughed at a number of black and white photographs taken of dogs around the world shown in a local gallery. We managed to also go off the beaten path to attempt some geocaching. It led to a creek nestled in some trees (which makes the readings on the gps not as accurate) and we only ended up locating 1 out of 2 caches. Still the day was full of exploration in town as well as places that have no permanent address. It was a good trip to properly bring in the fall.
