We spent several days at Keystone with Jennie and Will. We were busy the whole time either riding bikes, geocaching, riding the ferry to Port Townsend, or walking the beach.
We had beautiful weather for our walks on the beach while we looked for agates.

While at Keystone we decided to check out a few more Geocaches. There are many in this area and we seem to be discovering more all the time.
Hmmm, how many people does it take to find a cache? Apparently as many as possible. We all have a GPS and it's usually a group effort to find the exact location. I have found several on my own, but it's fun to make it a family event.
Here's a traditional cache. If I like one of the treasures I can take it as long as I leave something of equal or greater value. We usually don't take anything, but occasionally leave something.
We always sign the Log Book once we find a cache. It's fun to see how many people have been there or if someone was there just before us.
This one was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
I looked at each cork very carefully and finally found it. This is a micro cache. The little lid unscrews and there is a very tiny roll of paper inside to log our visit on.
Some caches are in the strangest spots. I could never have reached this one, which is a little odd.
Ron looks like he is about done looking for this cache. We knew our coordinates were right, but we just couldn't find it. Finally Will got down on his knees and looked under the bridge...
and this is what he found. The name of this cache is "A Decent Proposal" and there is lots of bling attached to it. Some people are so clever.
One of the great things about searching for caches is that you get to learn a little about local history. This was one such cache. If you are not a geocacher, you would have no idea that there is something hiding inside this log house.
This was our most adventuresome hunt. We are parked way down by the water, so it was quite a hike to our destination. We actually found 2 caches on this trail.
Jennie is looking at the first cache we found. It had lots of treasures, but we did not take any. We did sign the log book.
We had to follow this trail to the next cache which was about a mile along the bluff. I did not like it very much. You had to be part mountain goat to walk this trail. However, I seemed to be the only one complaining and there were lots of people on the trail. Not to mention the person that put the cache at the end of the trail and who has to keep It maintained. I certainly don't want to go there again, but I am not real thrilled about heights either.
These last few pictures are of the beautiful Coupeville area. 
I better let you know that I borrowed this picture from Jennie. She is having fun taking pictures and learning how to use all the features on her new camera.
