    Top 10 Geocaches of 2020 - who will be #1???

     

    Each day Nana & I go out geocaching,
    we of course, award favorite points to those
    geocaches which we think deserve them.

    Water Tower in Nassau

    And, as some of you know, if we find a special geocache that really
    makes us smile, we award it the "COVETED" SNAP!!!
    Cache of the Day Award.


    Then, at the beginning of the next year (right about now),
    Nana & I sit down and review those winners and select
    one very special geocache and award it the....
    "SUPER-COVETED" Cache of the Year Award!!!


    Note: if you check out the right hand side of this page,
    you will notice other pages available and you will find 
    the winners for each year and also a page with all
