I was starting to get close to 200 geocache finds in the last months of 2007, so I was going to try to hit #200 before the new year.
By Christmas, I was short about 17 caches. During my trip to Texas, my Dad and I tried a
"power cache." One of the rules of hiding a geocache is that they need to be a minimum of a .10th of a mile apart from one another. A "power cache" abuses the rule some by placing a string of caches placed about a .10th of a mile apart for a mile... 10 caches! Pretty cool! We only found 7 out of 10... there were a few missing in that mile.
By the time we got back home we needed to find 4 caches... and the
procrastinator I am waited til
New Year's Eve to find them. Before work I grabbed a couple at a rest stop and planned to find the last two on my way home... except I worked late that night and didn't get the final two! So, no 200 for '07.
It's not about the numbers anyway right? What a way to start off the new year by getting number 200. Since I was only two away, I had 12 months to make it happen. I wasn't going to be waiting til next
Christmas either. We made a short move closer to
Pensacola for my new job and while looking for a new house, we had a new place to find geocaches in the process. Two caches and
BAM! #200! We made it! Hard to believe we have signed 200 logs since we started just a little over a year ago.
Happy New Year! Here's to many more geocaching finds with my family and friends!

Hey, Dude, Found your Hippie Dude Coin in Crestview last June and brought it back toWashington State with us to place here. I see it is still travelling around Washington. Perhaps someone will pick it up and take it at least to Oregon, Canada or Idaho so it can see moreof the beautiful Pacific North West. Have enjoyed watching the movements of your coin!!!!
