A
registered geocacher gets a medallion if he finds a cache on Leap Day. “Do
they mail it to you?” I asked. No, it’s a digital award – a medallion on your
profile page.
The
plan was to find the Leap Day cache at the Grange Hall in our neighborhood, but
we couldn’t find it, so that meant a move to “Plan B” or lose out on the
medallion. Mike said he knew of one on the Lewiston Hill. So, we went back to
the house where I picked up my coat (good thinking!) and the camera. We also
packed our recycling.

After
leaving the recycling at the transfer station, we then crossed the road and went on up the Old
Spiral Highway. Mike had thought the cache was located mid-way, but it quickly
became clear that it was up top. Things got a little garbled and we ended up heading
back to town on the present highway. Mike initially thought the cache was behind
us, but no – I saw that we were getting closer to it. We pulled off onto the
scenic overlook where Mike readily found the cache, I took pictures, and Bess
explored. I was glad I had my coat because it was very windy.

This
February Leap Day looked a lot like March. Except for the wind, I would have to
say that March is coming in like a lamb. KW
Great scenery. Looks like the Lewiston area is getting ready for spring.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I noticed the greening of the hills, too, but it's still a little chilly.
ReplyDeleteIt was very cold up here today, a bundle-in-your-warmest-coat day. Good thing you took yours! I love your pictures--you got some great ones. I guess a virtual medallion is as good as a real one if it's on your profile page where people can see it. You saved the day!
