The Treasure (Tags) of Mary Hyde

About a year ago, Geocaching.com gave free tracking numbers to anyone who completed the Mary Hyde Treasure challenges. Like most, TaGeez and I activated these codes, and they sat in our trackable inventories ever since.

This week I found a coupon code on retailmenot.com for 2 free small customizable luggage tags (code APPTAGS) from Shutterfly.com. I thought, "Why not? What do I have to lose?" (answer: a rather pricey shipping fee -- should've waited for another coupon!). So I ordered these with our  Mary Hyde trackable numbers on front!

They came! These are the smaller ones, but still a good size (2"x3"). I think what has surprised me most is the quality and feel of them - they are a good weight. 

What are we going to do with them? Probably leave them in our trackable inventories :) But they look just right to add to a backpack strap, don't they? Hmmm...

Happy International Geocaching Day!

Happy International Geocaching Day!

TaGeez and I were out grabbing another cache today to earn our souvenir. It was a good month for souvenirs - we also earned the 6 souvenirs during the Lost Treasure of Mary Hyde summer geocaching challenge.

Each week geocachers were challenged alone or in teams to find caches or drop trackables to collect gold coins and earn the coveted weekly souvenir plus one event and one final souvenir. We collected 6 in all and earned a free trackable code to boot! Codes are supposed to be sent via email next week.

AHOY!
