hiram392 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 We live in a rural area. For Father's Day my daughters went out and hid my presents around our farm and neighboring area. After a big lunch of smoked ribs I was given a Father's Day card. After reading the card I noticed that they had written down a series of grid coordinates, 9 sets actually. They said that if I wanted my Father's Day gifts, I'd have to find them. Long story short, we all piled into the Jeep and enjoyed a ride around the neighborhood and out across the farm. 1st time I had actually manually input coords. into the Garmin 60CSx. Was a great way to end up the week-end. Hiram392 Quote Link to comment
knowschad Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Very cool, indeed! What a neat surprise. I sure hope you didn't have any DNFs, though (although it sounds like you had pretty reliable PAF connections if you needed them). Quote Link to comment

+Sioneva Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 My father's from South Dakota and loves the place. So when I happened to be at an event this weekend, and someone happened to be selling beautiful geocoins with Mt. Rushmore embossed on the back, I bought one for him. Gave it to him during dinner at a nice German restaurant (his choice). I'm afraid I've hopelessly corrupted the man, he said right off, "Oh, my own geocoin!" He loved it, too! Quote Link to comment
+Team Geo-Clarks Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I have 4 children (with spouses) & 11 granchildren. I hid an unpublished cache in a water feature at a local market place, e-mailed my children Fathers Day morning the coords to the cache, which they needed to find in order to know where we were going for our Fathers Day brunch. My wife and I observed from a nearby StarBucks, great fun! Quote Link to comment
+brslk Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Excellent idea! I like it so much that I plan on trying to become a father with as many women as... er... gotta go. The wife is coming! Quote Link to comment
