A Little Geocaching Fun

Because of the move, we haven't done much geocaching this month, but it has not interfered with attending local geocaching events. This community has a very active group of geocachers. We've attended monthly puzzle solving events, working on puzzles and learning lots. One cacher has hosted monthly brewery events. Sometimes when geocachers from other states come to town, they host an event as a way of meeting some of the local geocachers.

The monthly brewery event was held at the Prairie Berry Winery & Miner Brewing Company. Their first and main home is in the Black Hills (Hill City) and we make it a point of stopping most trips to the Black Hills, as we did last month. This was our third brewery event of the summer.

The three inches of snow last Sunday did not stop us from getting our mandatory earth cache for a virtual souvenir. 

We stopped at The Pettigrew Home & Museum which featured some petrified wood with its granite blocks. We grabbed a few other caches before we headed back to our warm new house.

We ended the week with an event hosted by geocachers from TX who were geocaching the eastern side of the state all week and ending their stay with an event at the Prairie Berry Winery and Miner Brewing Company. Also there was a group of geocachers from Winnipeg who were down for a long weekend of geocaching in the Sioux Falls area. It was interesting to have conversations with both groups who had found our Watertown geocaches.

The puzzle event will happen later this month. And now that we are feeling settled, FEELING settled, we'll also get out and look for some geocaches before the end of the month.
