We were coming home from a weekend away and we found a chicken. She was sleepy and started to roost on top of a garbage can (thankfully all bagged) at a rest stop. She was really friendly, so I found her a home and named her Oscar (get it? garbage can?) I get updates, she is a good layer. (there is no such thing as a wild chicken 'round these parts... cause they get eaten by raccoons!) Oscar on the can Oscar in my car

I play mandolin and some other things....but I am on the Big West Rock

I am pretty much a newbie and in general I am the kind of person who gives way more than they receive, but up here on North Vancouver Island I have to say that a lot of the caches have been filled with just junk, even one with a pump from a bottle of lotion, paperclips...it isn't that I am out for swag but honestly it bugs me when people don't take the time to just put in something they would want. Sooooo... I went out the other day to the dollar store and got HUGE amounts of swag for $15 - Which sounds like a lot but everything was a dollar or less and a lot of the things were packs of stuff. I got: Wet Wipes (mint, must be refreshing!) (3 for $1) Nice Soft Socks with Canadian flags on them Mini First Aid kits SaniGel Carbiners with little led flashlights attached Carbiners/calculators Bandanas Really cool Large Canada Penny bottle openers (copper like) Canadian Flag sew on patches (3 for $1) and a whack of other stuff...my packsack was actually *heavy* enough to look sideways at my hubby as we were hiking through the woods! I think the best part was putting the stuff in the caches and thinking about the people who are gonna get it.

One cache I found (with a dog walking themed title) had a bundle of little bags for scooping up after your fine furry friend...thought that was fantastic!
