Geocaching-wise, April is a big month for us. This April is no exception. First of all, today is the two year anniversary of when we first created our geocaching account. Our first found cache was the Fort Williams Cache in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. The cache ID for this one is GC128. This cache was the first cache hidden in the state of Maine and YES it is still there. If you are ever looking to visit Maine, I strongly recommend you check out this amazing and beautiful park. You will NOT be disappointed.
As of Saturday April 17th 2010, we have made our 200 milestone. I try to make it so that we celebrate milestones with something that is easy to remember. Our 200th came in the form of a parade at Rock Hill, South Carolina. It was also our first CITO event AND the first time visiting Rock Hill. The whole day was filled with fun activities, caching and meeting some very nice people. It also included a little friendly competition which came in the form of the Geo-Poker run.
The Geo-Poker run came in the form of 6 caches. 5 of these caches had different colored chips in them. Once you collected as many of these chips as possible, you had to check in at the camp and turn them in for cards. If you had a winning hand, you could leave with prizes. In the 6th cache there was a secret word. If you had the secret word, you were awarded with a very nice YoGO (York County Geocaching Organization) geocoin.
Besides all of the caching events, Rock Hill was bursting with activity as it was in the middle of their very popular Come See Me festival which draws people from all over.
Below I have some pictures from some of our Fort Williams caching in 2008. I will also add pictures from this past weekend as soon as I get them uploaded.
