Great Start to the New Year

This morning several hundred geocachers descended on Hope Lutheran Church to celebrate the new year, raise funds for a charitable cause and run for new caches! 418 to be exact!

This was a banner event this year!

> WikidKriket, SnakeyLicks and Bubble's parents joined us for an enjoyable breakfast cooked by...
> My aunt and cousin and other fabulous people from the church as their fundraiser
> TaGeez and I won a sour cream pound cake and Kriket WON A KAYAK!
> Then we hit the road for a lovely grouping of caches near New Haven!

Today we found 20 caches with 13 of them first-to-find! Awesome adventure in very cold weather. And then home for dinner with PopLob.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Happy New Years Eve!

Frigid cold but great energy on the City of Warren Plaza! Another memorable event by Team Gates!

Afterwards a group of us headed to Hope Lutheran to setup for tomorrow's HNY-18 breakfast event. We rewarded ourselves with Green Lantern's Pizza - YUM!

Now off to Frito's to ring in the New Year! Happy New Years everyone!

Gearing Up for HNY18

TaGeez and I were making rounds last night in preparation for HNY18 GC7DCAT.

This 9th annual event is held on New Year's morning, where Cachers from as far as Windsor and Ohio will attend. 

TaGeez and I annually hide 16 of the 300+ geocaches that are released that day. After a breakfast (proceeds go to charity) and a raffle (including several kayaks), attendees are released into the world to seek a day adventure of FTFs. 

Sometimes we're out all day with friends and sometimes we grab a few & head home to snuggle.

Last night we went for a several mile walk (can you believe it was 46° in December in Michigan?) and checked our caches in the area. All set for a good geo-holiday!
