How Geocachers Spend NYE & NYD

This year Geocaching Headquarters announced two virtual souvenirs would be given for finding a geocache or attending an event on December 31, 2017 and January 1, 2018. Well, we couldn't pass up a deal like that! We attended an event in Tempe on Sunday afternoon, hosted by another geocacher.

my first bacon donut

probably my last as there are so may other options

lots of humor on this truck

I like this place for a couple of reasons. Besides delicious donuts, the shop bakes fresh donuts every night for the next day. They give away whatever is left in the case at the end of each day, feeding the homeless.

And then on New Year's Day, I hosted an event at a new city park in Apache Junction at 8:45 in the morning. It just so happened there was a geo-hiking event nearby at 10:00 hosted by other geocachers.

we furnished donuts & OJ

more than 55 geocachers attended

there were 4 glazed donuts left of the 6 dozen I ordered
