Caching with our cruise friends

While on our cruise last December, Lesley and I made some new friends and we all decided to go glamping together. Mainly, we played games and talked, and it was a great time. It was also quite a bit scary at times - this was during all the flooding in North Texas, and we stayed in a floating cabin, and the lake rose 18 inches the first night we stayed. Of course, we didn't let the rain stop us from trying to find a few caches - and succeeding.

• Nice Walk - probably is nice not in the rain
• Tuckers Tower

So, if you know anything about this area of Oklahoma, the ground is a lot of red dirt and clay and VERY SLIPPERY WHEN WET. We were laughing so hard the whole time, especially when I got the fun of sliding down a hill. The shirt is permanently stained from the mud.

Caching in New York City

A co-worker and I had a trip to NYC, and turns out she is also a geocacher! So, of course, on the way back to the hotel after dinner, we found a couple of caches. So hard - muggles everywhere!

• Vesuvio's Cache
• Sammy's Cache - this one was cool!

Walking around and caching in the Texas capital

We decided to head out of town with our buds and visit the state capital for the weekend. Mainly we just hung out and walked around, but we also found a few caches whiles meandering.

If you are ever in Austin and in search of historical finds, I recommend these two:

• Austin History Virtual Cache
• The Tree That Wouldn't Die
• Salado College Hideaway

We also had a long wait for breakfast one day, so found this puzzle cache to keep us busy.

Finding caches in a whole lot of states around DC

The company I work for was acquired by a company based in DC, so I had a trip up to meet with my new boss. I decided to go up a few days early since (somehow) I'd never been to DC before, and my husband came along. We went to a few museums and saw the monuments, but we also took the opportunity to find geocaches in pretty much every state it was easy to drive to. This was really nice, seeing as if we'd done this much driving in Texas we'd still have been in Texas, so it was really fun for us.

• New Jersey: I Mustache you a Question
• Delaware: Garden of America
• Pennsylvania: Hello?... Hello?
• Maryland: Frederick Urban Cache_4 and PDAS Pass
• West Virginia: Tribute to Earl - A Tale of 2 Cities - HF
• District of Columbia: Whole Nano
• Virginia: A Wizard, A True Star

Oh, yeah - and I punched Justin Bieber.

Caching before a flight

The hubby drove me to the airport for yet another work trip, and we were a little early, so we made a quick job of a geocache near the airport: King of LUV.
