Forgot to mention in Last Month's Blog, we found the newest Locationless cache from Groundspeak called "Where's 25? - Locationless Cache" while we were out grabbing some Adventure Labs.
We were discussing this particular cache on our travels and Susan suggested a speed sign. I said I have not seen a speed sign with 25 here in Canada. They are usually 20km, 30km, 50km, and higher. I have even seen a 10km, but never a 25km sign. Later as we were driving along she screams "OMG Look 25!!!!"
Lucky we were in an area we could pull over and get a quick pic with the sign. Not the best 25 to have a pic with, but it will do!!

Was at an event at the end of February and I put my special geocoin on the table for those in attendance to discover if they wanted to. It was a gift for being named "Cacher of the Month" for February of 2012. As I was sitting in front of the computer at 4 in the morning and working on my blog, I was also scrolling Facebook and it popped up as a memory.
You can read about my nomination "HERE"
And you can read the story when I was Named "Geocacher of the Month"
Please feel free to Discover my coin, and let me know where you are from.
Leavenworth, Washington Birthday Weekend!!!
Traveled down to Leavenworth with Sansue on our Birthday weekend. My bday is March 22, and hers is March 23rd
It was a nice sunny day, even though the forecast was for rain.
Lots of things to see and do in town.
On the way to Leavenworth we stopped for a cache called "Say Hi to Harry!", which was at a shooting location for the 1987 film "Harry and the Hendersons" staring John Lithgow and featured Don Ameche's "North American Museum of Anthropology" which is the green building behind the Harry statue. It's a great family comedy!
The writing on the door says:

I thought the painting on this building in town was cool

It was fairly busy in town while we were there.
We got a Webcam cache also while in Leavenworth. It is right in the middle of town, where they have all their monthly festivals.
We also visited this cool metal Pig statue, made from a ton of misc. metal parts all welded together.
The cache took us awhile to find, but Susan came up with the find eventually.
I also got a challenge cache the next day just outside of Wenatchee called "Fave Worthy! 10-100 Challenge"
To qualify you need to Find one (1) cache that has earned 100 or more favorite points in each of ten (10) different U.S. States or Canadian Provinces.
I have 16 caches that qualify in 16 different Provinces or states.
I was also the Second to find this cache.
Here you can see me up on the cliff grabbing the cache.
Susan stayed at the car.
In total for the 2 day weekend I got 1 multi, 1 Webcam Cache, 3 Virtuals, 22 Traditional's, 4 puzzle caches(Two of them were challenge cache's) and 19 stages of 4 different Adventure Lab's
It was a nice little weekend trip, and we look forward to visiting Leavenworth again in the near future.
Next month I am traveling to Salmon Arm and I will grab some caches on the way, but more about that in Next Month's Blog......
Well that's it for this month!!
Keep on caching!!
