 Good morning everyone.  Continuing up the central plains area, we stop in Nebraska.  The oldest geocache is 'Cunningham 1' GC3AD.  Hidden in March, 2001, it was found 83 times before being archived in May, 2005.  It also never received any favorite points.  The oldest active cache in Nebraska is also the most favorite.  'GO BIG RED' GC943, was hidden in May, 2001.  It has been found 1,831 times nd has 516 favorite points to date.  It is located between the cities of Lincoln and Omaha. A couple of years ago, I did a four part series of blogs on one of my favorite parks to go walking in.  Kildonan Park.  I have to admit that I haven't been walking in the park very much this past year.  Life has taken me in a different direction.  I do still enjoy the walk when I do go.  On this particular day, I had taken time off work for a special occasion.  It was my oldest boy's graduation from high school.  This should h...

Last week I left off at the conclusion of the first week of my camping trip.  As mentioned, we did a spur of the moment planning of a second camping trip.  There was a spot available for the dates we wanted to go and sm66 had the time off.  All that was needed was for me to get the time off from work.  If I couldn't get the time off, then I'd be going to work from...
