Good morning everyone. This week's fun fact is a little sample of my annual stats report given yesterday at the Manitoba Geocaching Association's AGM. From April 30/2017 to April 30/2018, 540 geocaches were archived in Manitoba. The oldest to be archived was ""Back" on the Prairies" GCKT30, originally published in October, 2004. Another significant cache to be archived was "Weather...or not" GCWP3Z, published in June, 2006. It was found 1,496 times, making it the most found cache in Manitoba.
I've known for weeks that today's blog would be published on Mother's Day. It's only fitting that today's blog should be about Mother's Day. How do I merge the two together? Even now as I pre-type this, I have no idea how this blog will turn out. This was the only way I could think of to celebrate all mothers out there.
Some moms are very active in geocaching. They take there young children out to experience and explore the nearby parks and walkways. They watch as their children find the geocaches and hopefully find some neat swag inside. Some moms are older, and their kids have grown. Maybe they're grandmas now. Possible three generation group going out to find a geocache?
There are moms that are not really active. They might tag along as moral support, or simply just to get out of the house and a break from the daily chores. They may not have a geocaching account. You could say they are educated muggles. These moms encourage, support, and put up with our obsession with everything geocaching. To the moms out there that allow us to tackle daily streaks, or time away with other geocachers to find that specific D/T cache, or the oldest cache in a given area, or simply to allow us to run out in the middle of the night for that coveted FTF, thank you. This day is for you.
Thank you to all the moms out there. I hope that today is very special and brings you much joy and happiness. To add to this week's blog, I decided to include some pictures of geocaching moms. It is a very select few as there are far more out there that would make this an endless blog.
