A Geocaching Milestone

While we were in the St. George area, I realized I was very close to reaching a goal of finding 23,000 geocaches. Jon and Sherry recommended a scenic drive with some roadside geocaches and a stop in Veyo for pie.

a small corner bakery allowing only 4 patrons at a time
no room to eat in, but nearby tables and a covered shelter


we bought a rhubarb pie for dessert
and a couple of apple turnovers and lunch

chicken pot pie

I can see why the place was highly recommended. Everything was delicious and I am pretty particular about pie crusts! We enjoyed the pot pies in a church parking lot in Gunlock. The apple turnovers were enjoyed a couple of days later and were also very, very good. We shared the rhubarb pie with our camping hosts Jon & Sherry that night after dinner, and enjoyed it for a couple of nights after that. Yummy to the very end!

Some cachers look for a very special geocache to celebrate milestones, and we have, but when on the road like we were and not knowing where we might be when the milestone was reached, well, you get what you get. I had solved a puzzle cache in St. George and decided to make it my 23K milestone find. It was the type of puzzle I had used with students to encourage "thinking outside the box."
