On new years morning my oldest daughter and I went out to Beacon Rock for a First Day Hike, an initiative from the US parks dept to get out and hike on the first day of the new year. As we left town for the drive to Beacon Rock there was a rainbow.
Well, the other day I took my youngest out to hike up the 800+ foot high rock.
We made it to the top despite the rain and wind.
The story I'm telling today brings those two hikes that took place a month and a half apart, together.
I have mentioned that I like to hide 1oz copper rounds around for others to find. I like to leave crypto themed rounds in the hopes that it inspires someone to learn about cryptocurrency but, beyond that, I like to think of someone finding a cool copper coin on a hike.
So on the new years hike I left a Litecoin copper round like the one above at the beginning of the trail next to a little information keyosk. I don't have a picture but believe me, it was there.
Well, when I returned in February with my 9 year old daughter the Litecoin round was still there! I was shocked to see it so I picked it up to see how it looked, it had started to oxidize a bit and was looking kinda cool so I put it in my pocket. :)
When the little one and I stopped about 3/4 of the way up the trail for some water I saw a nice little spot to toss the copper for someone to find but looking at the is picture I seem to have tossed it into to good of a hiding place.
Can you find it? First to find it WINS!
Can you see it?
