Geocaching in Pomona

The one thing I like about geocaching is that it gives you something to do when you have some time to kill. Last weekend, I went to L.A. for a HOPE AACR callout. My friend Mary and her dog Mason, were competing in a Splashdogs dock jumping event at the L.A. County Fairgrounds. I didn't really feel like hanging out for 6+ hours, so I took Hope for a hike at Frank Bonelli Park near the fairgrounds.

I figured there would be geocaches in the park so we went hunting for them as we hiked in the park. It was very HOT and we climbed up a steep hill to get to a few of them. The views from up top were great, but Hope and I were tired and beat as we reached the top of the hill. It probably didn't help that I hadn't eaten all day either!

Here's a couple of pictures of Hope with a couple of our finds for the day...yay, I like ammo boxes...

Hope says, "I found it mom!"


We found 4 geocaches that day, we are up to #959 finds now! :-)

Oh! You were in my old stomping grounds - I grew up in Claremont right next door to Pomona. That park used to be called "Puddingstone" because of the unique stones that can be found there. We used to go hiking and swimming in the reservoir.

Thanks for the memories!
