On my summer "vacation" I wrote a 80 page graduate thesis and milked cows twice a day. Yes.... that was a vacation *hint of sarcasm*
Oh I almost forgot... my supervisor sent me to Indianapolis for a conference and I met a lot of the local cachers and did some great caches in the downtown area!

Time at the beach is always well spent.
Geo-footprints in the sand!

If you want colored duct tape, the Dollar Store sells it. One roll will do almost 3 PB jars. They only have solid colors though.
We've bought camo-ed duct tape from Mountain Equipment Co-op. Can't remember the price.
Also, now that hockey season is over, I've bought camo hockey tape before. I found it didn't shine like the duct-tape and blended in a little better.

We were caching yesterday and had to take advantage of snapping this pic! There were a bunch of beef cattle on the dyke we were walking around and one lonely dairy cow.

If no event happens to be scheduled, I'd be willing to host a "Meet & Greet" for our northern neighbors.
Could we set up some type of TB exchange? Would you be willing to take some (maybe even quite a few) Travel Bugs home with you? (I'm sure there are a number of people who have TBs that would LOVE for them to get that far!)
We had a cacher come over from the UK and Doobies set up a similar arrangement.
Just be warned though: It'd be a no-frills event. That's less than a week after I get back from Mexico!
An event would be great! I think my conference is done at suppertime each day, so after that I should be good to go. As long as it's within walking distance of the RCA Dome area.
As for TBs I can ask the TB hotel owner here if I can take some TBs from there and bring them down for an exchange. I don't think I can handle bringing down all my coins.... but I'll bring some special ones and my traders!
Thanks for all the replies! I'm looking forward to this trip; I just with the Beth-half could tag along, but I'm travelling solo.

Since I've spent the last 6 years doing research on dairy cows I thought it would be fitting to post these pics! The woman in the picture is one of the research technicians taking rumen fluid from a ruminal cannula in a dairy cow. It's a window into the largest stomach of a cow (and every ruminant). Enjoy!

Oops... I should've said my flight doesn't get into Indy until 5pm on Sunday. But I believe I'm free after supper everyday that week.

I am going to be in Indianapolis from July 6-11 for a conference at the RCA Dome/Convention Center (of course I'll be caching!) and I was wondering if the local cachers meet for coffee or anything in that time period. If so, would you mind an East Coast Canuck tagging along?

It's nice seeing this sport being recgonized by tourism groups across the country. Here is a similar link from Prince Edward Island.

Welcome to the addiction.... I mean sport...
If your town/county is swamped with micros... I guess there's only one way to get your feet wet, and that's jump in!
Starting off I would try and avoid cache names that may hint around that it will be difficult to find, or if the difficulty/terrain rating is high. It would also be helpful to look at previous cacher's logs on the cache page. I would recommend trying caches where cachers write anything to the way of "quick", "easy", and avoid "took a while to find".
As for local geocachers... most states/provinces have at least one group or association. You can search the Groundspeak Forums for regional forums... and these should lead you to local cachers/associations. You might also try contacting the cache owners of your local caches. Chances are if they hid a micro, they're local!
Happy Hunting!

MB COINTEST - they are finally here!

My favorite game from the past and a game that still makes my brain hurt is Duck Hunt for "old school" Nintendo. HOW DOES THE GUN WORK!??!!!???!!!?! Sometimes after the dog had me driven to depression and humiliation I would attack the clay discs, at least they couldn't hurt me mentally like that darn dog.
My favorite game from the present is the Splinter Cell series for PS2. It's a game that requires quick reflexes and stealth. Actually it's a lot like caching I guess.... except the wares for SC are a little more lethal than those I use caching (unless I'm attacking a nano LOL!).
Thanks for the cointest!
