Sep 26, 2012 - OTRA - OH - Wauseon

It's been interesting to see the change in soil colors as we travel from the southwest to the east ... from red to brown to, in some places, almost black soil. And yet, there are large crops in all the soils. Really neat, actually. Today's trip was mostly on state highways which always provide scenic views. We traveled through Elkhart, IN where it appears the RV manufacturers are doing rather well. Through the Amish country with their beautiful, well-kept farms (just like in PA), and on into Ohio. Today's stop was in Wauseon, OH at Sunny's...

We left Sarah's on August 24, and headed to Ohio to see Mike's mom and his siter and brother-in-law. We had a nice dinner with his mom, his sister Laurie and her husband Mike. It is always fun to get together with family, and we are looking forward to our trip back in July 2013 for Grandma Bliss'90th birthday.

Jul 30, 2011 - Geocaching Bash 2011

We were going to wait for our vacation until October and see about camping around Georgia on the east coast and maybe some mountains for camping also. Then when July came around and at the last minute of July, I said let's go camping. So we took off to head up to Ohio for the Geocaching Mega Event at the Fulton Fairgrounds just outside the town of Wauseon, Ohio which is near Toledo. WE got to camp at the fairgrounds for the weekend and got to see the area.People come from all over to spend the weekend with other people who like to trade...

Jul 30, 2011 - Mid-west Geobash 2011

We got to meet some new friends and we got to meet some old friends around the campfire at night. We got to talk about what we like with other people who like to do the same thing.I have a friend in my home town that we stay with when we come to town, he could not under stand why we do this, he said what don't you get a life. I said John you like to take your kids raceing with the soap-box cars, you sink cash into the cars and you like what you are doing, right. He said yes, and then he could see that not everyone likes the same thing in...

Aug 7, 2010 - Time To Leave MWGB10

After a few days at the MWGB10 event we were ready to head on up the hill to Michigan. Norma has never been to lake Michigan nor the state until a few days ago when we slipped into the state for some caches and then back to the fairgrounds, we were only about 20 miles away , so we had to get to Michigan. We were going to Indiana after the meet, but we wanted to see the lake after being so close. So off we went to see the lake and some caches.

Aug 6, 2010 - Another Day At Mwgb10

We have been to some of the classes on " how to do" and have traded some of the coins and pins. The event makes new coins and pins for each year and we try to get the new coins and pins for this year and the years in the past. With all this out of the way, it is time to go to the city of Wauseon and the area around the town to do some caching. We have found caches at the old fire dept, old train stations,new train station,bridges and we have taken a tour of the town of the back streets and the main streets.We get to see the town from the...

Aug 5, 2010 - Mid West Geocaching Bash 2010

We arrived on Thursday afternoon at the MWGB2010 in Wauseon , Ohio which is near Toledo. I had reserved a camp site at the very back of the fairground, they had told me that if we did not want to hear music and loud noise until late at night ,then we next to be away from AREA 51. This area was the place to be if you like to party al night long. We like to party, but we like to go to sleep when we feel like going to sleep. Area 51 had three to four barn fire circles for all the people who like to set around the fire at night. They had bales...

Aug 5, 2010 - WE OUR HERE NOW

This is our first time to a mega-cache event and we did not know what to expect from such a event. We arrived on a Thursday afternoon, went to the office to get our papers and to have some one to take us to our camp site. I had reserved a camp site back in April and wanted a place that was as far away from area 51. Area 51 is a place for barn fires and people to have fun all night . It is a family thing up until 10 P.M. with marshmallows and hot dogs and that kind of stuff. But after 10,it is beer time and you know what happen some times...
