GEOCACHING IN SUMNER



Clockwise from upper left: (1) "Welcome to Sumner" sign; (2) first geocache find of the day; (3) "welcome mat" at Sumner train station; and (4) second geocache find of the day.

The wife, the child, and I wandered about the city of Sumner on Sunday afternoon. The weather was overcast and mild—perfect walking weather.

We took coordinates for three geocaches with us, and decided to seek out two of them. We found them both. We left a small plastic green and yellow top in the first cache and took a travel bug with us. We deposited the travel bug in the second cache and left "behind" a small Chinese porcelain figurine. (Pun courtesy of the wife!) The child took a quarter for the child's piggy bank.

We also wandered around the Sumner train station and along the Confluence Trail (at the confluence of the Puyallup and White Rivers) near Sumner's Wastewater Treatment Plant. It was family fun for free!
