GCC5CC - Rolling in the Necco!?

Found it! Dropping off some papers for eldest son (Rocki88 - who could not find it yesterday) at his new place, and we hit the closest cache!

I guess he still needs his ol' man show him a thing or two !!

Passing the baton.


I will be passing the Geo-caching-baton on to the next generation next week.

I have taken child #1 of 5 caching several times, but due to a situation of "unemployment", he can not afford to buy his own GPS.

For the past several months, I have been scouring Ebay and Craigslist, and last week, I found him one. It's an older model (Venture), and "gently used" (I could not tell it was used at all), and came in the original box, with manuals, cords, and EVERYTHING!

This thing was as new as mine when it arrived! I hope he enjoys!

I was passing by the MALL OF AMERICA today, so I took child #4 of 5, and we made a quick bee-line into Nickelodeon Universe Indoor Theme Park at the Mall (used to be Camp Snoopy).

We had Sponge Bob check in with the folks and Nickelodeon, and he told them how much fun he has been having traveling!!

We ran over over to "His" ride (the Sponge Bob Square Pants Rock Bottom Plunge, and snapped a couple of photos.

Since he was anxious to get moving again, we did not take him ON the ride.

We left him at one of the closest caches to the MPS INTL airport, in hopes that he will soon head to other destinations!

Thanks for a great TB! (Child #4 of 5 was sad to see him go so quickly... "Bye-Bye Sponge Bob" she said as we left the Cache.)

Now that I am home, and read the clues a little better, I know EXACTLY what we were doing wrong...

I'll be back!

Find #5 on a 5-out-of-6 day!

I was finished caching after #4 today (or so I thought). I was close, it was warm, and the sun was still up, so I made a quick side-line for this one, much later in the day.

This was my second attempt at this cache. (I tried it last fall, but was unable to find it.)

A few extra months of "Geo-sense" - and I walked right up to it this time.

I had to make a special "extra" find for this one. I saw that this TB originated from the Austin area. I had to snag this one in honor of Geo-buddy AtHomeDaddy who hails from the Austin area!!

With Nickelodeon Universe (Indoor Theme Park at the Mall of America) so darn close, it would be a shame for him not to "check back in" with his friends at Nickelodeon!

I may have to help Sponge Bob with that task!

Find #4 on a 5 out of 6 day!

This cache I snagged after picking up #4 of 5 from her nearby sewing class.

Two reasons I had to find this one...

First - I found three caches "childless" while child #4 was in sewing class, and I REALLY wanted her to join me for AT LEAST one cache.

Second - The Spongebob TB that was left in this cache came from Austin, TX area - and I had to find this one in honor of Geo-buddy AtHomeDaddy (from the Austin area...)
