Found Moscow on the Harbor Geocache

We went and found the Moscow on the Harbor geocache today. This geocache is interesting because it is an ‘International Cache’ coming from the USA to New Zealand and packed full of USA goodies. The idea is that finders trade items that are from where they are from with the USA items. Unfortunately, we forgot our item, but since this geocache is only a 10 minute walk from where I work, we will probably visit it one lunchtime this week.

One thing I have found that I really enjoy about geocaching is that it gets you to areas you never knew existed. Moscow on the Harbor is no exception. It is set in a reserve where a path of about 1KM starts on a winding descending bush walk and along a pleasant flat path along the edge of a tidal estuary consisting mostly of mangrove. I drive past it every day to get to work but never considered visiting it.

When we return this week, I shall probably take a Welsh fridge magnet that we have (since I am originally from Wales). There is a picnic table closeby that we shall probably take advantage of.

And I must remember to start taking my camera with me to get some photos of these scenic spots.
