Phoenix or Bust! A Trackable's Adventure

You know how it is? I was sent to Phoenix for work in December, and I decided at the last minute not to carry my new trackable with me. As our Engagement Summit was in downtown, I assumed I wouldn't have access to a cache large enough for a trackable. 

WOW! I was wrong! I Waymo'd to a fabulous cache in the Phoenix suburb called the Bookworm's Haven. My adventure was my favorite part of my trip!


Now I've decided this trackable needs to visit, too!


Sending this out with the mission to visit Bookworm's Haven (GCAANNB) in Phoenix, AZ. 


After I meet its mission, I hope it continues to travel to other libraries, too.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 


It wouldn't be New Year's Day without a geocaching breakfast at Hope Lutheran Church.  About 100 Cachers (some coming as far as Hamilton, Ontario) converge for food, chatter, and door prizes!

Then 11:00 AM strikes, and it's time to geocache! 433 geocaches hidden by 17 Cachers from Commerce Township to Harsen's Island - Romeo to Detroit. Traditionals, Mysteries, Wherigos, Multis and Letterboxes. 

It was cold (19°) but glorious to be out! TaGeez & I did a great job picking our area to cache - we scored 34 FTFs out of 37 finds! SO many animal tracks and quiet roads. We love caching BWY Gand and Ramblin Rumble caches.


We jokingly called this picture 'Scrapcat finally climbs a tree!'



Last year was such a hard year so I'm taking this a sign of a good start to a fresh year. Looking forward to many more caches, more souvenirs, and more time outside. 




HAPPY NEW YEAR!
