They'll have ~o walk about three or four miles to go to all the different events." Valerie Wagner said she believes the school system is behind the idea and they are currently working on building career ideas into the program. The outdoor adven- ture, she said, is good for the health of the students and the environment. "That's important to us," Dave Wagner said. They're treasure hunting in Union They found their treasure six years ago. The Waguers said they were tired of the fast-paced life in the San Francisco Bay so they answered an advertisement on Craig's List. "We found this and we knew it was the one. I love the ocean, Dave loves lakes and he wanted to retire in an area where there were cabins. Now we live in the middle of a forest and we play on the water. It's per- fect," Valerie Wagner said. Hood Canal Adventures is owned and op- erated by the Wagners through an arrange- ment with Alderbrook Resort in Union. "We do offer a wide range of outdoor ac- tivities," Dave Wagner explained. "From kayaking and paddle boards and we have a 21-foot Duffy Boat (electric touring) boat." The business was up and running when they purchased it but the couple brought their own adventure to their customers in the form of treasure hunts. "We've built a series of events where peo- ple can go out and search out spots in a geo- graphic area. What it really boils down to is using a GPS device," Dave Wagner said. The technology-enhanced sport is known as geocaching. "We use it as a team-building effort with 50, 60 or sometimes as many as a hundred people. We divide the groups into teams and they go out and try to use clues that are given GPS locations. That gets them close, and then they get to the cache itself," Courtesy photo Valerie and Dave Wagner found their treasure, a guiding business in Union. Now they guide treasure hunts. he said. The cache might be a treasure or infor- mation that leads the group to the next cache. The sport, he said, is family and business-friendly. "We see all ages, all fitness levels," Val- erie Wagner said. "We have grandparents, moms and kids, boyfriend and girlfriend." "Everybody does it," Dave Wagner agreed. "Most of our business is generated through the resort but we have brought people from outside the area." The couple attempted to make their sport a community-wide event with their Geocache Bash but the idea met with lim- ited success. "The idea was primarily to showcase Ma- son County, to send people to different areas, but we couldn't get enough local interest so we've decided to cancel this year - it would have been our third year. The businesses were really interested in participating but we just couldn't get the community involved," Valerie Wagner said. and their guests a~e wel- come. You can get all this great food for only at $3 donation. Mark July 22 on your calendar -- that is the date for the Turning Pointe golf tournament. It will be held out at Lake Limerick.
