7.World travelers adventure log.Out and about exploring the world with Nildran on this epic adventure!Thanks for adding to our memories and letting us explore your favorite spots all over the world!It continues to be a wild ride!TFTC SLIf you find yourself at a local pub during trivia night, and the category is:'States shaped like a Mitten'here is some information that may help you win that round:Michigan trivia 7.01. While Florida may bear the title of Peninsula State, Michigan is the only state consisting of two peninsulas, upper and lower.2. Sault Ste. Marie, founded in 1668, was the first European settlement in the Midwest, and the third-oldest one west of the Appalachians.3. Michigan abolished the death penalty in 1846 for all crimes other than treason, becoming not only the first state but the first English-speaking government in the world to do so.4. There are no longer any living wolverines in the Wolverine State. There was one discovered in Huron County in 2004, the first one spotted in 200 years, but it has since passed on and has now been stuffed and mounted.5. One of the world's largest registered Holstein herds can be found at Green Meadow Farms in the appropriately-named village of Elsie.6. The world's largest limestone quarry is located near Rogers City.7. Colon, despite its unfortunate name, is nevertheless quite the magical place. It's the former hometown and, unless he's pulled a Houdini and managed a posthumous escape, the final resting place of Harry Blackstone, Sr. It's also home to several magic supply manufacturers: Abbott Magic Company, Sterlini Magic Manufacturing Company and FAB Magic.8. The first air-conditioned car was manufactured in 1939 by Detroit's Packard Motor Car Company.9. Da Yoopers are a band from da U.P., ya? Dey're famous for singin' 'bout deer huntin' an' farts.10. Yoopers (everyone on the U.P., not just the guys in the band) refer to people from the rest of the state as trolls because they live below the [Mackinac] bridge. Other nicknames are flatlanders and lopers, the latter name being short for Lower Peninsula.11. In Michigan you get 10 cents back for recycling a can, which is the highest payback rate in the country. While the state also has the nation's highest recycling rate (no surprise there), they're also losing over $10 million a year due to out-of-staters fraudulently trying to cash in. Blame the border states: Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio which don't offer any can refunds at all.
There are lots of hiding places here. Quick search and the prize was mine. TFTC

In town to look for the hotel my Grandmother-in-law used to own, but it's turned in to a supermarket.
I suppose you could still get a beer there?

Apart from a lady doing yoga in the park it was a muggle free zone. Nice quick find in a lovely place. Tftc
Due to the the COVID-19 pandemic it has been four years since we last made the long trip from California to New Zealand to visit our kiwi kin. In addition to enjoying our time together we are enjoying finding some geocaches, too.
We visited Westport for some shopping and the Adventure Lab. We were with Luckysteaks but they elected to take the littles to the playground while we worked on the AL. This is a fun cache and the littlest of the little, with a boost, retrieved the container once it has been located.

I was heading up to Denniston today, but this one got in my way, so I had to stop to find it. TFTC.
Back in Westport for a coffee stop, we walked around this beautiful park. At GZ I reached and felt something but got scared. Little cacher climbed and laughed, it was just a container in good condition, as the logbook. Thanks for the hide.
It was fairly quiet in the park today, so mr rattll dropped me off while he ran a couple of errands.
No problems making the find here.
Thanks for putting this here

We decided on biking around and getting a few caches along the way. Was coming here to do the adventure lab at the same time. I nice quick find. Thanks for placing the cache.
Nice find. Great coordinates and a useful hint. Many thanks. The sky is threatening but I have a walk in mind to pick up some local caches. TFTC
Quick detour to find this cache while completing the adventure lab in the area. One of us spied the cache on approach, and do we made sure it wasn’t so visible as we put it back in its hiding hole. TFTC
Found what we thought was it. Turned out to be a broken half pool cue. Hope it's not a murder weapon as it now has my prints on it! Then found the cache. Thanks. I did not do it. Honest
Found with madcow2. Didn't take long to locate the cache. Thankfully the rain stopped for a bit! TFTC
#10,129. Day 5 of the southern road trip. Infoferret and I decided to travel around the top of the South Island after the Mega event in Auckland at Labour weekend was postponed. Its been a great opportunity to take in the sights and sounds of Canterbury and Westland. After staying overnight in Westport we are making our way today to St Arnaud and Murchison today. The weather has been great so far on the trip. Like an early summer. But this morning its light rain and drizzle.
Off to do the Adventure Lab. Parked nearby and wandered around getting that sorted. IF mentioned there was a trad nearby she had missed on during a previous visit. I wandered over and plucked it from its hide. I can see why she struggled to find this one. Good to get another cache in the bank after failing miserably with the "quick and easy find" type cache over by the theatre. Signed the logbook and replaced where found. Thank weenz for hiding it here.
