Snacking on the Trail
If you’re like us, we hit the trail for multiple geocaches. Fortunately, the hiders accommodate us. We can hike a trail and grab several geocaches along the way. When you hike, it’s important to stay hydrated and maintain energy levels. Welcome to National Trail Mix Day!
I’ve become quite the connoisseur of trail mix. You have to, as a geocacher. You’re hiking for maybe hours at a time. Trail mix is a handy snack to keep your blood sugar levels at a good level. Nuts form the basis of a good trail mix. They provide fat, an easily digestible source of energy. They will help keep you feeling sated.
Dried fruits form the bulk of the mix. This is where you can be creative. Add dried bananas, cranberries, coconut flakes, whatever your heart desires. Include the treats you’ll enjoy for a flavorful mix which will fuel the hunt.
Trail mixes are the snack of choice while geocaching. Take this day to celebrate the food that fuels your geocaching.
