Breakfast in the Blustery Burbs Jan 7, 2017

Last year was so hectic, too hectic, and we logged in our worst year of geocaching yet with only 251 finds for the entire year.  We are going to have to do something about that and step up our caching this year.

Today we attended an annual event - The Breakfast in the Blusterey Burbs.   This is a highly anticipated event run by Greenback, and it's always well attended.




Mom, are you confused about your caching name???  Why are you wearing Wheels name tag?


They had a raffle and mom won a lovely bag of hand made soaps from Linda Shannon.  Linda also makes beautiful macrame items, so check out her shop.   I won a geocoin from Greenback.  Thanks Mike!  If  you're a geocacher, please visit my TB page and discover my TB.  The number is PCQJAR.   That's Mike, our host, in the background with the black sweatshirt....



After a delicious breakfast at Golden Coral we headed out and found 12 geocaches....

 

We're either a pretty hardy bunch or else just desperate to get out of the house - the temperature today was  4 degrees with a wind chill of below zero.   Brrrr....


It took us longer than it should have to find this cache....


And this cache was in a cemetery and had a cute container....


It felt good to get out and visit with our geocaching friends.  Here's to hoping we spend more time geocaching this year.

  6. Every time I read one of your posts on geocaching I say that I have to try it! It sounds like something I would love but not in 4 degree weather!

    1. I wish you would - it's quite fun. Even in zero degrees. LOL! We just dress warm. It's a good excuse to get out of the house.

  7. 251 is a lot! Glad to hear you are doing well. Your posts always have such a happy tone and bring a smile to my face. I hope is has been a good year for the snow-plowing business in Chicago. We haven't had much snow down in St. Louis, just ice :)

    1. Hi Mike - thanks for stopping by and saying hello - we haven't talked in ages. We have had NO snow for a month now - we are dying for some snow to plow. So not good for us.

      Stay in touch buddy - hope all is good with you.
