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!

HNY26-17th Annual Geocaching Breakfast Event

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!

NOMAG turns 15!!!

 

Happy 15th Birthday to the North Oakland Meet and Greet! TaGeez and I had the good fortune to celebrate with friends up in Clarkston, Michigan on Thursday.

Oh, what a fun event! We weren’t sure if we’d make it as we had to drive up from Farmington, but I’m sure glad we did!

First, Syfun, our host, ordered beautiful weather! 

Then he greeted us with the best swag bag we’ve ever received!  Look at this!

In addition to a fun trackable, each bag included 3 3D-printed items made by Syfun himself! A standard container, a cupcake-shaped container, and a log roller.

Look up close! For the containers, he built them in such a way that the log host fits up into the container, avoiding wet logs. These are the nicest 3D containers I've handled.

We laughed with old friends, took a group picture, and enjoyed the plethora of new caches available.

Perfect way to drive out the winter blahs!
