Cache the New Year In!

12-31-08 We were pushing for our 100th cache this week, but knew we might come up short with the short daylight hours, the cold weather, and the plans we have for celebrating the new year. We made it to 94...not a bad effort. We had a lot of fun caching on our way to New Harmony (GC1Jt18, GCK5C5, GC1592R, BCTMFC, GC1KOPF, GCPBV7, GC1FRTD, GC13F8T) and even more fun celebrating New Year's Eve and Day in cabin 8 at the state park. It was so nice to lounge around playing games, eating, and reading by the fire. We got in a few games of Life and a couple rounds of dominoes (Mexican Train) when V and K came to visit. The kids enjoyed the Wii, fondue, and silly string. We were dozing off and on when the new year rolled in, but it was all good.

12-28-08 J. and I. went out to the woods at Hemlock, an after-Thanksgiving tradition. G. and I took advantage of a few after the holiday sales and worked in some cache stops, too. It was great girl fun! We met up with Aunt KL and E. for a few errands and then the storm broke loose. It was wild, but we made it out of Target and over to Qdoba to dry off. Yeah right, we were soaked! When the boys got back, they told us about their accidental find along the trails. We'll take it...we're nearing 100 finds now!

12-21-08 We hadn't been caching in many weeks, but we kept getting e-mails that other cachers had found our hides here and there. The weather has been unseasonably warm so lots of people were taking advantage and getting outdoors. We finally carved out some time to go today...and it is ICY COLD outside today! We went anyway, warming up in between stops so our fingers could thaw. : ) We only found two and struck out on a third, but it was fun while the sun was up. We picked up a TB today that orignited in the Ukraine. Wow!
