On another trip to donate blood, I found another geocache near the Mall in Columbia. Happy Canada Day! is a cache that was placed on July 1, the day celebrated in Canada as Independence Day. It's a fun, sort of hidden spot. Even though it is by the mall, the muggle traffic is very minimal, thanks to its peripheral location.

On a trip to Minnesota, I found four caches in one park that put us over the 500 mark.
The first find was Accessible 4 All #1 in a very easy to find location. The container had no log, so I didn't get to sign it. There's other easy caches in other county parks nearby. We stuck with this park.

The other three caches had more traditional settings--out in the woods. Chunky Monkey had nothing to do with the ice cream, other than it was easy to find.

Following some trails up the hill, I found our 500th cache, Awful Waffle (which also didn't have anything to do with food). On the way, I spotted some deer but they were too well camouflaged for photographing.

| The deer were on the right, I swear! |

| 500th cache location |
The pencil for signing the log was quite congratulatory!
 |
| Thanks! |
Not much further was Hilltopper Surprise which was surprisingly out in the open. I managed to give it a better hide for the next geocachers.
 |
| 501! |
I came back down the hilltop to find the trail entrance that I guess I would have used if I had reversed the order of cache finds. The trail head isn't that obvious, though.

Yay success!
I made one bonus find at the end of the month when I went to visit our local Scout Shop. Powered Present is just where you'd think it would be from the picture below.

Our count is now at 502!
