Seattle Trip
Headed to Seattle with Sansue for a show and I set up a list with some high favorited caches, but it was raining pretty good and we ended up only getting one virtual cache.
I guess we will get the high favorited caches another time.
NOTE: The highlighted or underlined words in my blog can be clicked on as they are links to other cool stuff!! Also if you click on any of the pictures they become bigger!!!
I came across a Challenge cache called "Oldies But Goodies 100 Century Challenge" where you needed to have found 100 caches from 2000 and 2001 back when geocaching was just getting started. I love doing Challenge caches and seek them out whenever I travel, so I thought I would see if I qualify.
This is a list of the 2000-2001 Caches I have found so far. Not even close to 100. lol

Bellevue Trip
I had a show down in Bellevue last week. It was actually a 3 hours close up/walkaround gig.
I got into town early and was able to grab several caches. One I got was called "Aloonimum Sculpture"
It was a long curved walkway out on the water, that was all aluminum.
The weather was awesome and the water was super calm.
Was able to grab 5 traditional caches before my show. I looked for a puzzle cache that I solved while here. But it sounds like the co-ords are way off according to previous logs, so I eventually gave up the search as I had to get to my event.

Vernon/Kamloops Trip
Booked a show in Vernon and one in Kamloops also at the end of February on Leap day Feb. 29th
On Leap year day you needed to find 4 caches to get a virtual Souvenir and of course since I was traveling anyway, I had a list of caches I planned on getting. I left home the day before in the evening and drove thru the night to get over the Coquihalla Hwy as I had heard it was a mess with snow. I got to Kelowna at about Midnight and decided to keep heading towards Vernon and grab some caches before stopping for the night.
One of the caches I had on my list was Winfields First Chirp Cache....Well Kinda
It wasn't an actual Chirp Cache but a corner lot with lots of cool birdhouses. When I reached for the cache container which was just sitting on the top of one of the bird houses, two birds flew out and scared the crap out of me. lol
I also got a TB hotel that I missed last time we were thru here.
Grabbed a couple more caches and then stopped at a roadside pullout to sleep for a couple of hours
This one was more like a Bird Hotel and resort.
I grabbed several more after a few hours sleep before mu first show at noon, even almost got an FTF but I was second to find.
Next Month Susan and I are headed to Vegas for a few days, and I have a few caches we will get while there, But more about that in Next months Blog........
Well that's it for this month!!
Keep on caching!!
