ODS Prime Cache

This project is so cool, I'm looking foward to following it. I can't wait to hide our seed pod when we get to Italy. :D

Terracaching

Yesterday, we joined Terracaching.com. I would love to do more challenging caches, but they will probably be few and far between since we tote the one year old around. :) We did our first one today while out getting a few caches in Lampasas. Both MrCC and I spent a few years there in our early childhood, so it was awesome driving around town again. The terracache was a virtual at the fire department. It was a memorial to 9/11 and its victims and heroes. It was sad but I appreciated the cache because it made me stop, remember, and reflect.

There is another terracache at Enchanted Rock Park about an hour from where we're staying now. I went to E-Rock with my grandparents back when I was a kid, and even then we only climbed one of the mountains. To claim this terracache, you have to climb all 6! I think I read that it's an 8 mile hike and 2000 feet total ascension. We might try to get a sitter for Lil Sunshine one day and attempt it. Don't know for sure yet though, but it would be a blast.

Lil' Sunshine recently got her 200th cache! It was ODS: TKtrekker-Abbe-Kefer on June 6. This cache is part of a really cool idea brought up by Snoogans. It's putting into practice the concept of the Small World Theory. We are also taking a container of seed pods to Italy when we go. So, we'll be a part of this caching history. :D
