Eat. Sleep. Cache. (MWGB Day 3)

I was up pretty late last night logging caches, so slept until about 8 a.m. or so. A thunderstorm woke me up about 4ish, made me really glad that I decided to get a hotel room rather than camp in a tent. The skies were still pretty threatening by the time I got up and going, but made sure I could reach my rain gear and off I went.

First stop was to the bash to exchange a couple of travel bugs. After that, took off north and east and did ten caches, mostly Spirit Quest caches in cemeteries. NW Ohio sure has a lot of little old cemeteries, very interesting to walk among the stones and think about the lives represented there. The stories behind those lives are, for the most part, lost forever. It's too bad.

Made it back to the bash by 1:30 so I could check out the silent auction items. Nothing there that I couldn't live without, especially since I'm coming home with two t-shirts and coins/pins already. Hung around for a while, got to talk to caching friends from home as well as meet some new people. The closing ceremonies started at 3 p.m. - first was a ginormous group picture, then prizes awarded. Of course I didn't win anything, my streak is still secure.

After those festivities, off I went for more caching. 21 more caches, working my way west and south this time. A lot of cemeteries again, but some other caches, too. My last two caches were in a little roadside park near Napoleon, Ohio, on the banks of the Maumee River. Beautiful way to end my caching day.

Back to Wauseon and the hotel, where it's time to log the caches again. As fun as this has been, it sure has been a lot of computer time keeping up with the logging. As of tonight, I have found 93 caches in these past three days, and moved 22 trackables.

Now I need to figure out which route to take home and what caches are along the way. I'm looking forward to the trip, but also ready to get on home.
