We found a bunch of geocaches in Minnesota during our summer vacation.
320' and 3" Fair was a fun baseball-themed cache, even down to the container for the log. Often a mico-cache is either a film canister (for those who can remember when personal cameras had 35mm film), pill bottle, or other tiny container that can fit a rolled up log sheet and nothing more. This container was very creative and very photogenic.
I'm pretty sure it's illegal in professional baseball to drill out the middle of your bat and add something inside, but this was perfectly awesome.
We went walking along the Mississippi River and found a cache on the edge. The Ugly is part of a series of caches, so the name isn't really related to the location.
The cache was another micro-container hidden away in a creative spot.
We visited South Saint Paul and found a few caches. One classic hide was behind a tire shop. We found Robert Fun 4 almost instantly. We went to lunch nearby. Plenty of restaurants are in the area!
We also visited a park in South Saint Paul where we had cached before, probably about ten years ago. Two new caches were added to our finds--Marthaler Park #3 and Marthaler Park #2.
The park has a fun playground where the kids played with the grandparents while my wife and I found the caches.
Geocaching is a great summer activity and we were happy to go exploring new and familiar areas in Minnesota.
