Sometimes you find surprises while geocaching. Nana & I love caches with history. This one qualifies both as historical and a surprise find.
In 4th place:
GC6C9HP: Dead or Alive
A really nice put together multi-cache located in Surry County.
The scenery is really nice here too.
In 3rd place:
GC6MYT6: Peace. Love and Gadget Caching!
A truely great gadget cache!!!
In 2nd place:
GC7C06: Witch's Leg
Most of you already know, we love historical caches. Also, Nana loves caches in and around cemeteries. So every once in a while we run across a truely great cache that is in a cemetery, has some great history and in this case: has a spooky story to go with it. We were on our way to Canada, traveling up Rt 1 along the coast, when this cache appeared on our screens.
If you are ever up this way - make sure to put this cache on you "Must Do" List!!!
So, FINALLY:
The WINNER of the
"SUPER-COVETED"
SNAP!!! Cache of the Year
for 2016 is:
GC190EK

I had written this one off as one I would pass by. I only went along because you organized the expedition. It was a lot of fun.
