July 4th GeoArt

My July 4th geocaching adventure satisfied several of the things I enjoy about geocaching.
1.  Completing geoart
2.  Completing a challenge
3.  Completing the annual Summer souvenir challenge by Groundspeak
4.  Caching with friends
5.  Road trips

At a Geowoodstock planning event, another couple and Dark Star and myself decided to find all of the "Get Your Smile On In Seguin" geoart caches. I had been solving them for some weeks now. As of the start of our trip, there were 87 published; however, 3 more were published while we were caching the series! We worked together to solve them in the field and ended up finding all 90 that were currently published. 

If we pass a Buc-ee's, we are going to stop. If we stop, we are probably going to get a photo!

 We left Arlington around 6 pm, and arrived at this cache around 10:30. It was a planned stop; however, it was just a fortunate coincidence that it was less than 5 miles from our lodging for the evening! 100 Souvenir Challenge

Finding Hidden Creatures 


The cache containers were all the same; just the hiding styles were different.

 We completed the Hidden Creatures challenge today!

Geocaching with friends is awesome! Getting all of our target caches, completing geoart, and completing a challenge makes it even sweeter!
