This is much deeper than I thought originally. My mind is now working out several posibilities. I only wish I lived in an area that I could experience some of these first hand. Keep'm coming. This is great!!!

This looks like quite the adventure. I wish I had an upcoming trip to the area so I could block out a couple of extra days and attempt the quest. Thanks for your input.

I was thinking about setting up a mystery or puzzle cache based upon multiple virtual caches. Possibly extracting information from signs along a road or bike path. And it got me to wondering what some of the most unique caches others have encountered might be. Got any really special caches you've found or placed?

Sorry to hear about your financial problems. We had the same issue a few years back, but fortunately she didn't clean out the treasury completely. But she was treasurer for Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Little League and Softball. Restitution will take years. We hold a fundraiser every year selling hanging flower baskets on the Saturday before Mothers's Day. A local greenhouse provides them to us at their cost and we double it. We typically start around 8:00 AM and will sell out our 150 baskets by 10:00. It's usually good for close to $1K including donations and it takes very little time. As for Geocaching with the group, Mid-Iowa Council is holding Geocaching events at their upcoming Camporees in May. You might check out http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...d5-417d4d11812e and contact The NVG for some help. This isn't the only event they are doing this spring, so there may be others that could provide info as well. Good luck with the boys and the funds. Just remind everyone that the boys are the only thing that matter. Some of the best events don't cost a cent.

I hadn't read this yet, but it is full of great information. I think I have a good starting point now. Thanks for the info.

Maybe this isn't the proper forum, but I have a question for the group on the best way to start a travel bug and keep it alive. Does it matter what type of bug you have, or if you have any requests about their travels? I'm getting ready to start two bugs cross county for our local Boy Scout Troop and I would like to set up the best circumstances for it to survive so the boys can track the progress. We would also like them to visit other Boy Scout troops when possible, but not manditory. Is there a way to give us better odds at achieving these goals, or will it just be the luck of the draw?
