A DNF day
Since I have been without a job for a whole week I decided to spend a day geocaching.
I grabbed the DeLorme EathMate PN-40 (now fixed) and downloaded a couple caches I hadn't yet and headed out before my daughter showed up to have me "babysit"... again.
Before starting I hit Sonic for a Cherry Limeade.
First cache Mall Holiday 2... been here before, old GPS keep pinting to under my truck! I walked over to where I expected it to be & there it was! FIND #1!!
Secnd attempt was Refuel! ... bad idea at 1PM... on the corner of busy & busier! will try on a sleepless night.
Third cache Is Bill Bored?... parked, walked straight toward it... searched a bit toward the ground then looked up & BINGO! Find 2!
Next attempt was Take me out to the Ball Game... searched, searched, searched... DNF #1
Then up Richard Lionheart... ouch... DNF #2
Onto Sunrise Park... super easy find & spiffy containter. Find #2.
Now Bad Motor Scooters... climbed a tree and DNF #3
Called for help. I was in the right spot, should've been there. damn.
Cache attempt #8 was What Happened to the Houses? I got a lot of signal bounce and I was getting tired so it was a quick DNF (#4)
For a change I tried one by a different cacher and headed to find Gloriana. It is located by the Church where my Late Uncle Fr. Tony retired to before his death, so it's a special place for me. I searched a bit and then had to call it my final DNF of the day.
Total 3 finds & 6 DNF (even though refuel is not technically a DNF)
I am not discouraged.

Geocoins
I have too many geocoins!
Not that I am complaining but I think my purpose behind buying them was not really to let them go. That is against what geocoins do- Travel!
I did donate a couple to new geocaching families in my area so that the kids can track them.
I also picked 7 to release in the next month. I hope to spread them out to different areas of Montana for release.
I'll update when I get them out & about!

You see them EVERYWHERE!
Geocachers that is!
Driving home from our Rapid City trip we passed through the metropolis of Alzada, Montana (insert sarcasm here) and saw a couple guys hunting for GC1Mv22! It was funny because I looked at my husband as we drive by at 55 and said "They're geocaching!" without batting an eye he responded "yeah, you said there wasn't any out here"
I really didn't want to look for micros and anything over a 1/1 with the speed of our trip.
It's a very small world!

Memorial Day trip
This year I will be heading to Rapid City, South Dakota!
Not because it was a place we wanted to see or a new adventure we felt calling but because I have to take my favorite niece to meet her Dad. (Her mom is too busy to do it)
No worries!
We have planned:

- Photographing several County Courthouses in both MT & SD
- Checking out the area around Rapid City & Ellsworth AFB
