Monthly Review - March & April 2020


We started 2020 off with a BANG!!!

Unfortunately,
Covid-19 had other plans for all of us!!!!

As you will see below, for the most part - Nana & I dramatically
cut back on our geocaching.

We did manage to grab a few caches around our area before
the state of Virginia issued it's "Stay At Home" order


All of the caches we found in March were before the order.
We took a short trip down to Edenton NC, worked a new
Lab Cache series and grabbed some more caches.
We also managed to grab some local caches before the order went into effect 


In April, we grabbed a few caches but maintained our distance from
everyone the entire time.   


A quick look at the numbers for both
March & April 2020:

Total Caches found: 35
Traitionals: 24
Mystery: 3
Events: 1
Multi: 1
Virtual: 1
Lab: 5

That brought our total number of finds at the end of April to: 10426
--------------------------------
Caching Days in March & April: 6

Places We Geocached In During March & April:
Virginia - 16 finds
North Carolina - 19 finds
