2015 was a very good year!

Well I haven't blogged for awhile and decided that it was time to get back into it with a little rehash of my geocaching year...



2015 started out fairly quietly but we had made plans.  First out of the gate was a Caribbean Cruise at the end of February.  Not wanting to go all that way and back Paul and I extended our holiday to include a layover in Dallas for 4 days. We visited The Grassy Knoll in Dallas as well as the oldest in Texas..Tombstone  We rented a car and managed a 4 states in one day,  geocaching through Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana..From Dallas we flew to Puerto Rico and spent a fun filled 2 ½ days exploring old San Juan and the forts and a day in the rain forest. All this while managing a few geocaches here and there of course. Then onto the Experience of the Seas with 48 like minded individuals.  We spent a fair amount of time off on our own and managed to take in and enjoy lots of island life.  A cache or two on each island rounded us out quite well.

In July we flew to Winnipeg (my first time that far east). Rented a car and explored the Lake of The Woods in Ontario before heading back through Minnesota into Manitoba.  Managed to grab the oldest cache in Manitoba for my 10,000 find! C1BUA - cache 1n a builtup area  
Headed north to Dauphin for some fun time at Country Legends Manitoba 2015 (WestCan5) with friends. 

September saw us hit the road again.  This time we took a couple of caching friends with us and went to Long Beach Washington for a week long road trip.  And I actually drove on the beach.. Just a little bit.  We had a lot of fun at Cache Dash Splash
