This one was just north of the other one nearby so we grabbed it too.
We had a blast on our Geocoinfest 2007 visit to this neck of the woods.
We will be back for sure.
The GEO*Girls had a blast as well.
I am getting them ready to be future Waymarkers.
They both got cameras for Christmas and are raring to use them.
