For geocachers sometimes icons are worth their weight in gold… kind of like “badges” in Foursquare.  For those readers who are not aware of geocaching (using million dollar satellites to find Tupperware in the woods) let me just say that each type of geocache has a specific icon related to it.  Some are more difficult to get- one of those is the GPS Adventure Maze, basically because it is an exhibit that travels the country spreading the gospel of geocaching.  As a traveling exhibit sometimes it is hard to track down.  It started off in Indiana B.C. (Before Cecil) so the monkey had never logged it and therefore was missing the icon.  This weekend the exhibit started its run in Nashville, Tennessee at the Adventure Science Center (until September).  So being a three day weekend and having nothing else to do… we headed down to catch the exhibit, get the icon, and a smiley.  All I can say is if you know nothing about geocaching, but would like to learn and are anywhere near Nashville stop by.  The next time it will be near to Indiana (my home base) will be in 2012 when it goes to Dayton, Ohio.

Besides the exhibit Cecil would also recommend- the World’s Largest Travel Bug Hotel, Walk Like an Egyptian, The Anchor… and a bunch more.  If you are looking for icons- there are a lots of virtuals & webcams in town.  Cecil did pick up is 1500th find on the way home- so he considers it a good weekend.

This week marks the end of school and while I will be free to pursue other interests starting Friday, I can only hope that I will get all the paperwork done in time to produce the comic this week…  keep your fingers crossed.
