Trip To Chicago











































We went to Chicago to welcome Elemental Jay home from Iraq. He is a Indiana cacher and friend and it was really freakin' good to see him get his butt home safe and in one piece. WE were also able to getting some gps fun in. We found beverly (GC28) which was really cool. It is the third oldest active cache in the world and the oldest cache east of the Mississppi. Really darn cool. It was an excellent cache to find and really cool to find one that old. It was hid in 2000 which is pretty impressive since we have only been caching since 2003 and the majority of our caches have been archived in that time. We also got to find our first benchmark in Illinois which had the added benefit of being the first rod benchmark we have found. I am rally enjoying seeing all the different kinds of benchmarks. We also got to do some waymarking since the place we went to gather was waymarked. It was a fun weekend but also very tiring from the travel and long late nights.
