The Winter/Spring cache dash!

OK- it was not an official event it was just my way of having fun with some of the geokids on trips to Hungry Horse Montana! (I went two weekends in a row)

First I have to say it was awful to have to drive this 500 mile trip in a rental vehicle instead of my Shiny.

March 27- we pack up & left early (0600 is early for teenage boys) hitting our first Waymark 30 minutes out! We managed to get 10 waymarks on this trip. The two boys who were in the car on the way up had a blast- they helped navigate, read the gps & geocaching clues, were willing, er, excited to get out and find each & every cache we came to. The only reservation that was voiced was stopping in Browning to find 2 waymarks. We were able to do a drive-by style waymark so I was happy & they were content.
We picked up the 3rd teen in Hungry Horse a little after noon & he was revved up to help cache our way home. He did spot 2 on his own.

I wish I had the total scored for trip #1 but I lost that paper. I will say we were all soaked from head to toe by the time we found all 15 geocaches!

April 3 - The 3 boys & I were joined by my Hubby and our geomutt, Karma! We all piled into Shiny a bit later than planned. This time we headed up another road to the same destination. The hubby drove and was excited to know that we did not find all the caches without him.
We got 2 FTF right off the bat! This was a faster trip with only 8 geocaches to find and none over a 2/2 for the sake of speed. No one was wet this trip but fun was had by all.
