"The key really, is tohave multiple
teams, multiple locations," David Wagner
explained.
• "Kids will go to the police station and go
into the crime lab," Valerie Wagner said,
"there will be several businesses involved
and the kids have to find those business-
es with GPS devices. 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,"

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.
