On The Road With Johnny Cache

Back in March we released a travel bug called Johnny Cache. He's traveled nearly 2,500 miles and visited three destinations (out of 81). In case you have no clue what I am talking about, let me explain things.

Travel bugs are tags that are attached to items and allow the item to be tracked by the owners. The tag has a numeric code on it, and when it is found by another geocacher they can log where they found it and where they dropped it off at. For more information you can check out Travel Bug FAQ at Geocaching.com.

We dropped Johnny Cache off in Winnemucca, Nevada. After visiting Idaho, Wyoming, & Colorado, he's been taken to Louisiana and is awaiting the next geocacher to pick him up and take him somewhere new. I've been tracking Johnny with Google Earth and I thought everyone might be interested to see the path he's taken. As always, you can see a larger image by clicking on the picture you want to see. It's neat to see the caches in Wyoming, we have done quite a few around Cheyenne and along I-25. However, we have not found any of the caches Johnny was in while visiting Wyoming, but I suspect we will be stopping at them the next time we are close.

I have Johnny Cache under Links and you can check back to see how he's doing. Hopefully he will find his way out of Louisiana soon and visit some caches around the South for awhile.

Tonight, Laura and I start our dance class. We are looking forward to learning a few steps! Also tonight, Elton John is playing a concert at the college, but the chances of getting a ticket to the show were nearly impossible - that has actually been quite a debate the past month. There were no tickets available to people waiting in line to get them, and anyone who got online to get tickets had them bought before people in line could get them! What a mess!

My stained glass class is looking to be a lot of fun. I have not chosen a design yet, but that is my assignment by Wednesday night.

This weekend is the season opener for duck and goose hunting. Laura and I are not going to hunt on Saturday, instead we are going to do some geocaching and attend a geocaching party at the Grubstake Restaurant in Hamilton, MT. Sunday we will probably get out and see about finding a few ducks or geese, but there really aren't too many around so we are not counting on much action.

Everyone have a great weekend! Until again
