I thought going out and getting a cache a day was tough, but having to also log in and write about it is almost as tough. Kudos to my friend Elaine who has her own blog about biking and quilting (among other things). I'm not sure I can keep things interesting for the next 300 plus days, but I am going to try.
So on Saturday I was in Mississauga yet again. We were having Mason's birthday party at Classic Bowl. I had MiniGomes and CelyG with me and we went looking for one behind a plaza on Dundas street. We started walking down a path and thought we were approaching the cache, however we ended up on the wrong side of the creek. We tried to find another path that led to the other side, however we could not find it quick enough as time was running out to be at the party.
We bowled for several hours and then went to our friends house so the kids could hang out. The kids played video games and the adults chit chatted about everything. Before I knew it, it was already 6:30 and it was getting dark outside. I quickly used the iPhone and found an easy cache about 1km away. It was right near the Hershey Centre. Thanks goodness it's not hockey season. There was not another soul in site, and was able to make the grab quite easily.

Today I decided to go for a new TB hotel that came up yesterday. It was located near Milton, and I was happy to see this one pop up. A big container is nice to be able drop off the bigger travel bugs.
We went there just after lunch and there were a lot of muggles, however they were all inside the Tim's enjoying their coffee's. I don't think anyone noticed us sneak down and get the cache. Both MiniGomes and I grabbed travel bugs to keep moving.

And since I am on the topic of travel bugs, I have a sad story but a happy ending. Do you ever hate it when your travel bugs go missing? Or when you get to a cache hoping to find a TB, but nothing is there? I always wondered if people took them on purpose and just pocketed them? Well , while I was my friends house I was happily explaining Geocaching to him, and showing him all the items that we had in our Swag bag, when I came across a geocoin that I didn't realize we still had. I went and looked it up on the website so I could log it and I was stunned that the owner had reported it stolen. I felt AWFUL! He has just recently replaced the coin with a photo and it was now travelling about. I contacted him through the caching site and we are arranging to return it to them this week. We had no intent on keeping it, but it got "lost" at the bottom of our bag. So there is hope for all those so called lost or stolen TB out there.
Later......
