New Adventure Lab: Detroit Firsts!

I published my Adventure Lab yesterday!

Welcome to Detroit's Campus Martius! 

It is considered the heart of the city and the symbol of Detroit's rebirth. However, it also embraces Detroit's colorful history. The Motor City is internationally known as the birthplace of the automotive assembly line and the hub of the auto industry, but it should be celebrated for its many other "FIRSTS", too. 

This adventure lab is a 5-stop art tour of Campus Martius, sharing Detroit Firsts, both old and new! From start to stop, this tour is a half mile stroll through downtown Detroit. If you start from the North you will end at the Detroit riverfront.  

Come by car, Q-Line, People Mover, ride sharing or the famed Detroit Slow Roll, but try to avoid coming down during Festivals or late at night. It is an urban city.

Caching New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Nobody celebrates like the Southeastern Michigan Geocaching Community!

Kicking out the the old and kicking off the new (plus earning two new souvenirs), 

we headed to 3 HNY events within 24 hours!

***

First up was Team Gate's celebration on New Year Eve at noon. Welcome to Warren City Hall!

19 - The Final Hours Flash Mob GC8H26B

After freezing our butts off, we donned our good wares, grabbed the deviled eggs, and head off to Frito's Open House in Livonia. There we solve jigsaw puzzles and geocaching origami, alongside friends playing board games. We stay until midnight to ring in the new year.

Celebrating the Year to Come: A 20/20 Vision GC8FR5E

But once we toast, time to grab our dishes as run because we have to be up early for Team GSIXX5666's Happy New Year event across town in Warren. All proceeds for breakfast goes to Hope Lutheran's trip to Haiti this year. Path tags, door prizes and kayak raffles next. 

HNY20 - 11th Annual Geocaching Breakfast Event GC8CZ63

After a hearty breakfast and a lot of laughter, we head out into the cold to find as many of the 206 newly hidden caches (hidden by local cachers) as possible. TaGeez and I hid 18 this, and we were lucky enough to score almost a dozen first to finds!

Our first FTF! And it's a T5!

TaGeez and I hit the rode alone this year, but it gave us some much needed 'us' time on our geo-adventure. First-to-finds and then a relaxing lunch at a new restaurant and caches some more.

Such an amazing start to the new year with friends!

Let's keep it going! My geo-resolution this year is more road trips with friends.
