Good morning everyone. Since we were in Maryland last week, we should pop in the Washington D.C., or the District of Columbia. The most favorite cache is a virtual. 'The view of an "Honest Man"' GCEB2. Hidden on July 1, 2001, it has 14,492 found logs and 1,637 favorite points. The first geocache placed in D.C. was 'Rock Creek Park' GC97. Hidden in October, 2000, it was found 11 times before being archived in March, 2001. It is suspected that National Park Services confiscated this one. The oldest active geocache is another virtual. 'Capital View' GCDE1. Hidden a mere 4 days before the Honest Man virtual (June 27, 2001). It has 10,252 found logs and 932 favorite points.
It's time to announce the winner of the March photo contest. Before I do that, let's look at the entrants.
First up is Megs1973. The whole family is sporting a Winnipeg Jets hat. Very cool.
Next up is Stonagal, also sporting a Winnipeg Jets hat. Also very cool.
With two entrants wearing Winnipeg Jets hats, I couldn't resist but toss my Winnipeg Jets hat in.
Our third entry is from KennyMasonMady, not wearing a Winnipeg Jets hat. Pittsburgh Steelers are ok. LOL You could trade the Steelers toque for a Winnipeg Jets toque. They can be purchased here > Jets gear
Next up is Capt. Tailwagger wearing his college alumni hat. Capt. Tailwagger is a blogger as well. You can follow his adventures here > geocaching with capt tailwagger.home.blog/
We have half of team Jangie with their go to hats.
Those are the entrants. Up for grabs is winners choice of the following:
Prize package #1 A copper OR gold plated trackable coin (not both) that says "The only bugs I like are Travel Bugs".
Prize package #2 A Star Trek themed trackable medallion.

All the entrants are placed in the wheel where I get to spin and make everyone dizzy LOL
The winner of the March photo contest is.....
Stonagal. Congrats on winning. It may have been the lucky Winnipeg Jets hat. I'll be in touch with you soon for mailing information. I'll have your prize in the mail later this week after I move.
Now for the April photo contest. I've been undecided as to what theme to go with. Since GC8NEAT is in full swing, let's see a picture of you practicing CITO. Cache In, Trash Out. It doesn't have to be bags and bags of garbage. A simple picture of yourself picking up some litter will be just fine. If you have any ideas or suggestions for future themes, please feel free to message me. You can send your entries to thegeocachingguild@gmail.com or direct message me on Twitter at @thegeocachingg1
I did GC8NEAT the other day. I filled two bags and could have easily filled more. Sad to see a nice little park get trashed. It's one of the stops for my Adventure Lab, where the Battle of Seven Oaks monument sits.
That's all for this week. Next week will be the blog that should have been published last week. What picture theme will I have? I got a picture of another today in my travels. Hmmmm. Until next week, be happy, stay safe, wash your hands and wear a mask, hug your furry critters, and most importantly, have fun. Peace out.
Tinks likes to crawl between the blankets on my bed.
Getting a picture of Sassy takes more effort.
