MSC on micro-micro cache
Geocaching is a relatively new pastime, relying on GPS units to hunt and log "finds" of small containers hidden by others, often in urban areas. Sometimes, a cache may be nothing more than a notepad and pencil; other times, it may contain small trinkets that can be swapped out by the finder in exchange for a similar item.

Thanks to Kevin and Suzette for coming up with the idea to combine geocaching with a weekend club ride. The two - leading about a dozen members behind their orange Stella and sidecar - had pre-selected five published local geocache sites, and together with coordinates and clues, kept everyone well-entertained.

Kudos to Robin for finding two of the five stashes, and to Rick, Mark and Melissa for finding one each. Coffee at club fave The Shop to start, with beer and burgers afterwards, made it all the more enjoyable.

Got photos? Add 'em to the club photo cache at Picasa™ where Rick's begun an event folder. Get in touch with him via e-mail for the login information. Read more about geocaching here.

Oh, and besides recording our visit on each logbook, one stop in particular now has a club sticker enclosed in the box. Go find it! dingbat
