Vacaching Adventure, Day 1

Today I left for my week plus of vacation, during which time I will be geocaching through 10 states. Today I drove through Texas and Louisiana (I had already cached in these two states, so I didn't make any additional stops), and then drove through Mississippi and collected 16 smiley faces (that's finds for you non-geocachers) and 5 new travel bugs and 1 new path tag. It was a great day.

This morning started with a beautiful sunrise and led into an all around gorgeous day. There were all kinds of pastures full of varying colored flowers, but mostly yellows, blues and purples. One of the coolest parts of the morning trip was watching the more than 1 dozen crop dusters do all of their low flying antics right over the freeway in the early morning hours.

I had a little snag this evening in that I drove past my exit for my final destination...it took me about 30 miles out of my way, but I did eventually arrive here at Tessa's house with no other ordeals!

We are watching a movie, and then I am off to bed to go at it again tomorrow!

I will upload pictures when I get the chance.

Geocaching Traveling Treasures

Many of you know that I have gotten involved (some would argue addicted) to geocaching. One of the neat things about geocaching is when you are able to discover travel bugs or geocoins in a cache. These special items travel from cache to cache and are tracked on line. I wanted to share some of the travelers I have found, so I thought that I would put together this little slide show:



Some of these treasures have already traveled a long distance overseas. Others, like my own personal Texas shaped SETX Gang Geocoin are about to begin their journey shortly when I take my geocaching vacation in a couple of weeks.

For my fellow geocachers, what is your favorite travel bug or geocoin find?
