Geocaching

Been doing some geocaching.. I am really getting into this.. it is a lot of fun! Went out on Monday night and did a couple.. one was a nice walk in the woods, the second one was a quick find by the river.
I am getting excited about the trip this weekend, and plan on doing some geocaching while we are up north. There is a travel bug cache that interests me. A travel bug is a numbered tag that someone buys and drops in a cache. People pick up the tag and move it from cache to cache and log the travels on the website. At this cache they request that you leave a TB to take one... So I got looking at local caches, and found one in East Lansing where someone had dropped off a TB, but did not look like anybody had visited the cache since then (about 1 month ago). The cache was in a part just a few miles from the office.. so after work I went over there and found it with out problems.. AND.. the TB was still there. I am so excited, it is my first TB.. It is a beany baby of a puffer (a water bird) with the TB tag around his neck. The goal of the TB is to see the Great Lakes, which makes me even more excited.. since we are going to the Straits this weekend, I hope to place him in a TB Hotel cache in St Ignace. Then bring another TB back home with me.

I uploaded a pic I took with my phone of the cache and the puffer, you cant see the actual TB tag in this pic, but i will upload others later. This TB started in Ohio, and has been to Indy. Looks like it has been to Grand Haven (Lake Michigan) and it has visited Lake Huron north of Bay City. I will get him to the Straits.. and maybe even to Lake Superior depending on my travels over the weekend.
If the rain passes I will do some more caching tonight, as I do not have to work.
