I bet you are. The only square that might be somewhat challenging for you would be the National Lakeshore spot. Have you ever been to the Apostle Islands or Indiana Dunes?
That trip we just took to Tennessee was the first time we ever found a cache more than 180 miles from home. Before that Marquette, MI and Northern IL were the extent of our out-of-state caching. Up until 3 years ago when I owned my own business it was very hard to get away. I need to retire and get away more, but we have too good of jobs to do that for 2 more years.
Funny, Pat just posted about challenges today. I think I will start to more actively pursue the FTP Challenge.
And yet you won’t find my one challenge cache, the final is just south of you!
National Parks?
Not even close for that one.
We got a little bored with just finding caches a year ago so much of our time now is spent on challenges. We completed T&B’s classics hides challenge last year. It took us 2 years to find enough qualifying caches and then we travelled 3 hours to get the final. The journey to complete the challenge was the real reward, but finding the final was a nice validation of our accomplishment especially since only 6 teams have completed the challenge. When we were in Tennessee last month we made sure we got all of the caches on the Jack Trail Geo Tour so we could get the coin that was offered. We specifically went to find the last open spot on our D/T grid last week, but for that one I don’t even know if there is a corresponding cache or where it might be. We also try to find all of the caches by certain hiders whose caches we enjoy. So I guess we just like to challenge ourselves as long as it is fun.
Gwyn, I was going to ask Jim the same thing. I was looking at the Mother Goose series GC3A1R3. A hike and 7 caches. Hasn’t been found since May, but it has been found several times in winters past.
Anyone out there?
Two more days. Getting excited. Did some scouting over weekend to save time on Wednesday.
Have you noticed that they send out their big sale ads to start the day after this Senior National Holiday?????
They have plaid flannel shirts on clearance for $10 so they will be $8.50. I can feel like a yooper for under ten bucks!

Driveway is snowblowed, but nowhere to go. Not sure why I did that.
Snow is slowing down here, but lots of blowing.
Real small flakes here too, maybe 3″ so far.
Real funny Becca. You MADE me do that.
I think next time Renee places an order it should be for clown hats and red noses for you funny people.
