One of the cool things about geocaching is visiting interesting places you might not know about.  While caching over Spring Break there were many times when I would tweet “eww… I just stepped in history”  It seemed like you couldn’t take three steps without being someplace where a founding father slept (they seemed to have slept in a different bed every night), or some historic battlefield.  Almost all of these places had a geocache.  It did bring history to life for a few of us, and I thank those people who did the research to teach about the importance of a location to the history of this country… but yes, a few lampposts and guardrails were involved-  there is no stopping progress.

Again, sorry for this comic not being in color- I figure I will be able to go back and add color once the school year is over-  I’d much rather everyone get a comic on time than risk another long break.
