MWGB, Day 2

Wow. A super day of fun. Woke up, had the typical motel continental breakfast. Difference being that there were no tables. Take the food back to your room. That's ok. Then went up to the bash and went to the coffee (none for me thank you) and donuts social. Met up with Unlimited Tazmania and KBB1BB there. Ned & Sue gave me the replacement key for the cache box key I've been holding onto for a couple of months now. The key is a travel bug and you have to have it to open the cache. They had to replace the cache so... Anyway, I'm guaranteed a FTF on this one as I'm the only cacher that can open it. After I find it I have to drop off the key in another local cache so it can be found and used by someone else.

Poker Run cards were handed out, and I was invited to go with Unlimited Tazmania and KBB1BB. We had to go to seven different area businesses and get a barcode sticker at each. The computer read the stickers and figured our poker hands from there. Technology... It was fun though I didn't win anything. We also did some caching along the way since we had from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. to get the seven stickers. It's fun to cache in a group, though I still do enjoy my solo caching.

Came back to turn in our cards and wait for the results. I also turned in my travelers so that I could pick up the same number of different travelers. Got some neat ones! After I knew I hadn't won anything in the poker run, I decided to go do some solo caching. Made it to (and past) my #1800 milestone, for which I counted the event itself. Ended up with 37 caches today and a two-day total of 62. Stopped at WalMart on the way back to the motel to pick up a salad for dinner, then have sat in front of the computer logging since then. Takes a while to log 37 caches and 16 travelers.

The weather was gorgeous today. Tomorrow is forecast to not be so good. 80% chance of thunderstorms. We'll just play it by ear. I do have a rain poncho.

One more full day of bash, then tomorrow night I have to decide what route to take back home, caching along the way of course.
