Martin Luther King Day Plus the End of Palooza




The last event of Cacheapalooza is the MondayPalooza Meet and Greet.  It consisted of just showing up in the parking lot and signing the log - followed by more caching!

MondayPalooza runs on Dunkin!
After paloozaing, we went for more caches.  We did nine caches plus the event, with one DNF.  For us, that's a good day :)

Your Geocaching Details


Found it 01/20/2014 You found CP8 Poker Run 4 (Flush) Visit Log
We enjoyed the M&G and then had a nice stroll along the paved trail. On the way out of the park to lunch, we stopped for a few that were dry and close to the road. We did not participate in the poker run but we enjoyed finding a few of the caches. Took 0, left our card, signed the log and replaced as found. TFTC
Found it 01/20/2014 You found On the road to CP 8 – Juliet Visit Log
We enjoyed the M&G and then had a nice stroll along the paved trail. On the way out of the park to lunch, we stopped for a few that were dry and close to the road. Mrs Bend did not remember seeing a preform so I took a picture to show her. Needed tweezers to retrieve the log, signed and replaced as found. TFTC
Found it 01/20/2014 You found CP8 Poker Run 3 (Straight) Visit Log
Found while on our way out of the park after the M&G. TFTC
Found it 01/20/2014 You found CP8 Poker Run 1 (2 Pair) Visit Log
We had a nice stroll along the paved trail and then switched to caching from the car. Pulled up and made the find with the Virginia BoxCar team. Signed log and left our card. TFTC
Didn't find it 01/20/2014 You couldn't find CP8 Poker Run 2 (3 of a Kind) Visit Log
After a nice stroll along the path, we switched to caching from the car. Tried to get to this one but it was just too wet in there, kinda like it was under "Water" in the Yellow Pages.
Found it 01/20/2014 You found Jonathan Dickinson's Wild Kingdom VI Visit Log
After finding IV, Mrs Bend had had enough of the trail for today so we packed up the walker and cached from the road for a while. We found this one but missed V. We'll be back another day. TNLCSL TFTC
Found it 01/20/2014 You found Jonathan Dickinson's Wild Kingdom IV Visit Log
We are definitely Old School cachers, we remember when just about the only containers were nut jars and ammo cans. Our nemesis is the dreaded "Micro in the Woods". That is another factor which made this series so enjoyable to us. Signed log, left our card, and replaced as found.
Found it 01/20/2014 You found Jonathan Dickinson's Wild Kingdom III Visit Log
Continuing on our caching stroll after the M&G we enjoyed this one because of the Ranger Rick container. After finding the RR series down here last year, we placed a series in a nature preserve near Traverse City. It has been a big hit with the kids and has attracted a number of scouting groups working on their merit badges. We took nothing, just signed the log book, left our card, and replaced as found. TFTC
Found it 01/20/2014 You found Jonathan Dickinson's Wild Kingdom II Visit Log
After enjoying the Meet & Greet, we parked up the road, unpacked the walker and went for caching stroll on this beautiful sunny day. The caches along this trail have become our favorites because they are easily accessible, even for those of us with a hitch in our giddyup. We also loved this series because the cords were so accurate, (I sat down the iPad when it read 3 feet, the cache was about 34 inches away.) Took nothing, signed log, left our card and replaced as found. Thanks KrumBens and all the Catchepalozza Crew members for the time, effort, and expense they expended to bring fun into our lives.

Fun time. Thanks for putting it on. We were a little late but still had a chance to meet a few cachers.
