Results of the weekend

The weekend geocache events were great!

We met at 9:30 am in the acoustic cafe in Winona Minnesota. I guess there were about a dozen of us in all. We spent about an hour getting to know each other and looking at everyones treasures.

Accordiangal brought lots of geocoins to look at and buy. WE LOOKED. Geocoins are collectable treasure designed for a geocacher or an event. They were amazing to me. She also had some extra tracking bugs. Travel bugs are trackable booty left in geocaches and are intended to be passed on by the finder. She was nice enough
to share some of these coins with us rookies. We now have three travel bugs that we are ready to pass on. Two of the bugs are from outside the U.S.! We plan to pass them on this coming weekend.

After the meeting we went out as a group and found 9 caches, some of which were hidden especially for the group. Due to a condition I am now suffering we had to leave the group for awhile and move at our own pace. While aprt from the group Sandie and I found 2 more caches.

One of our finds was called "Beam me up". It was hidden inside an old lantern that was then hidden under some bark. It was SANDIE's first find! She found the second one that day too. While looking for this cache 2 flocks of white pelicans flew over as we were in the Mississippi flyway. Very cool.
