Geocaching N&S Dakota

  

Grampa Bob 14 (my uncle) and I did another one of our cross country trips this time to get caches in SD, ND, WI, IA. The main goal of the trip was Earthcaches, Virtuals, Web Cams, and about 160 challenge caches in South Dakota.

We try to stop in every new county and this cache had a benchmark next to it. How many layers on this Earthcache? Most of these you have to answer all kinds of questions from the site but also you must provide a picture of yourself at the site to prevent people cheating saying they were there when they weren't

A pretty cool windmill here in OZ... had nothing about OZ but it was a virtual so we went there. The city keeps pretty good care of it Another was the house that Dorthy was in when it went to OZ. You guessed it... it had a cache... a red slippers lunch pail under the porch had the log and swag. Left a ddvdude pathtag there and a TB.
