Lawson725, IAWarrior and myself are in the area this weekend making a quick MOA run. First time geocaching in Minnesota! We definitely needed more time. Since today is my 40th birthday they let me do some caching. Tired from the mall and usually not to jazzed about geocaching anyway they couldn't say no. It was my birthday ya know.

This morning I got a couple hours to myself and picked up 5 icons in less than two hours. Then I picked everyone up from the hotel and drove over here. This WIG will be the 6th icon and some Virtuals later will make 7. Now that's a nice geocaching day for anyone!

Lawson725 and I have only done 3-4 WIGs so we are still very new to this. She was a bit disappointed when she found out there wouldn't be any questions to answer. I on the other hand respect the historic significance of the men and women that rest here.

There was a woman using the locator and for a second I thought maybe just maybe she was a fellow geocacher. I didn't see her at J.M. so she must not have been.

Thank you for this historic experience today

*Final cache container was broken (lid) so I placed everything into another container and placed it just a bit lower.
