Keepin' It Green is Traveling the World

Last year, Troop 505 planted a travel bug that we named "Keepin' It Green Frog" in a our troop's local cache a.k.a. Keepin' It Green. The TB promptly headed out of Evansville and traveled east. She quickly crossed the ocean and stayed in the Czech area for many months. Now she is traveling in Germany. She is a pretty lucky frog to be traveling the world!

We haven't been caching much lately, but we did have to replace the cache noted above after someone stole the original, container and all. We're waiting for the reviewer to re-activate it now. While we were in Wesselman's Park, we decided to find two caches that we didn't have yet. Now I'm ready to cache some more! There's a new letterbox hybrid near our home that I hope to get later today.

Later today: We did find the letterbox hybrid (GC29PJX) and it's pretty cool. What's funny is that we passed by this location the other day on our way into town and there was a truck parked nearby. I even commented out loud that it was weird that some one was parked up there and wondered if something fishy was going on. Well, today, we were the fishy ones parking there. :) We also found a really interesting cache (GC25Y17) today, a type of hide that we hadn't seen before. I should have been the one to find it as I had the right idea, but I didn't discover it on initial instinct. Jim saw what I did and tried again and he was the finder. :) Very fun!

Isaac won this leg of the TB Challenge!

April 2010: Isaac's TB, Guitar Hero, made it to the Denver area first. We hope he stays there awhile so we can catch up with him when we go. Grace's TB is still on the west coast and Karen's TB is in the midwest trying to make it's way to CO. Unfortunately, Jim's TB is out of play. We hope he will resurface, but we haven't had any luck tracking him down.

CONGRATS GUITAR HERO!!

Caching down Green River Road

Jim and I had a few hours to ourselves while the kids were with Mimi and Dale in Owensboro. We weren't particularly motivated to do a whole lot because it was freezing cold outside and we have the post-holiday blues. We decided to head for B&N to buy a guidebook for our trip out west. Jim suggested that we cache along the way so we plugged 8 or 10 geocaches in and headed south. Our luck was "hit and miss", but we added a few smileys to our map.
