I have just a couple more caches to find on that segment of the trail, and I gotta say it was memorable. Thanks for keeping it up. -The Happy Hodag!
Whew! The trail is mushy…not an easy bike ride. I’m pretty sure this is the last year I’m going to be keeping up the YBR.

I’ve been plotting with ILuvScience to be able to finish up the trail. I only have the offset and the final left, and she’s got a couple in the middle and the bunch on the east end of the trail. Are you planning on keeping Where The Wild Things Are up for a couple more years yet?

The buck stops here. . .and gets entered into Where's George.
Where's George? Stimulating the economy one EMS'ed dollar at a time.

Maybe/probably. Keeping up regular maintenance on 80+ caches that aren’t p & g’s and scattered over a wide area has become a little too much. Wanna adopt some???

03/30/2017 at 11:28 am #2054517On another topic….those of you who are facebook friends with Trekkin’ may already have seen the photos he posted on facebook about our visit to the Minnesota Air National Guard Museum yesterday. We had a blast, like kids at an amusement park. History, airplanes, other aviation artifacts! As a result of our visit there, we learned a few other things when visiting my parents afterward and sharing our experiences, including the fact that one of Dad’s cousins married a cousin of Richard Bong.
This was one of those experiences that is a true geocaching gem. I don’t think we’d have learned about this awesome location if not for the virtual placed there.

This does require advance planning and the time to enjoy the tour. Had we already known of this site, we’d still have gone through the hoops to visit it, cache or not. I encourage anyone with an interest in history or aviation to give it a visit.

Just remember that those who have 80 P&G’s just don’t maintain them.

I was never to their museum but I did have contact with the Minnesota ANG. Back in 65 they were assigned to fly us around to our outlying sites with their helicopters. We used two with white painted tops, they were said to be the only two in the world painted that way. These two choppers had been assigned to JFK. but with his death they had been passed down to HHH. and relocated to Minneapolis for his use there. LBJ. got new ones

Now that is very cool! I’m not a military guy but I love history 🙂

03/30/2017 at 6:05 pm #2054523Jar, That’s kind of cool, though I don’t remember seeing any choppers yesterday painted like that. Years back, my parents visited an air museum in the Phoenix area, and that one had the plane on which Kennedy’s body was carried back to DC. They said it was surprising how small it really was.
On another note….we might not have two tickets to Paradise, but we do have two tickets…to Billy Joel in Lambeau. Woo hoo!
03/30/2017 at 7:15 pm #2054524I’m sure that when Humphrey left office the choppers were repurposed again somewhere else. The Minnesota ANG in those days had no need for them, I believe they were an aerial refueling and transport outfit. I recall touring one of their big transports while a couple of the guys talked about training flights to Puerto Rico. It seems that those transports could haul unbelievable quantities of rum.
03/30/2017 at 7:51 pm #2054525I think we could listen to quite a few more stories from jar42… but then he might have to kill us. 😯

03/30/2017 at 7:55 pm #2054526Not exactly two tickets to Paradise or two tickets to Billy Joel at Lambeau, but I just booked us a room in Nebraska for the total solar eclipse in August. Might be taking a couple of the greats with us on that adventure.
