The geocaching year started for me on January 3 when I found

A typical hiding area |
During another errand I found
Scouts Honor, which had to be the most blatantly out-in-the-open cache I have ever found. And yet, it is well camouflaged. It is in the picture below but you probably can't spot it unless you have already found it.

Somewhere in there |
I attended a different Monday morning meet up on MLK Day (since the usual coffee club doesn't meet on Federal holidays). Afterward, I walked over to
Paul's Scrap Parts #1, which was in the same shopping plaza as the meet up. I made the find fairly quickly, getting the log out of one small container that was in a larger container. After I signed the tiny log, I dropped the lid for the small container in the snow. Reaching around, I found a solid round object that I thought was the lid but was really an acorn in the grass under the snow. After more feeling around, I found a lot more acorns. Eventually, the lid was discovered and I was able to put the cache back together and into its place. Yikes!

A troublesome lamp post cache |
The next week, I found
End of the Sidewalk 2... after we had another snowfall. The sidewalk was mostly shoveled so the find was easy.
|
Huh, the road ends too! |

I found an Unknown Cache (which involved solving a puzzle) called
Pedal Puzzler near Lake Elkhorn, though not near enough to get a good picture.
|
No, that's not the lake |
I found my first cache on the Odenton Cache Challenge Trail--
#2: 100 Attributes Challenge. The trail is a set of challenge caches, each one requiring the completion of a different challenge. This particular cache wants the finder to have found caches with 100 different attributes, which I had achieved just through regular caching. I have qualified for about ten of the trails thirty or so caches, so I will be back!
