: We could do something like a Gumball Rally with TravelBugs, set 5 Dakota

: originating and destination caches. Or another possibility is to do a reverse

: TravelBugs near their home locations and make the destination a GeoCache in the
: area of the 10th Anniversary Meet. Last one there has to pull Tom out of the
: Lake ;-)

: DML Member Photo TB, goal is to see how many DML members can photograph the TB
: on the hood of there own Dakota. Both die-cast and member’s Dakota would have
: to be identifiable in the photo.
: Cruise Control Dakota, goal is to try and maintain a minimum TB average speed

: a month or 8640 miles a year to average 1mph. This would be very hard but not
: impossible.
Heh! Oops, I guess I sort've stole some of your ideas in my
geocaching post on the offtopic list. :-) I like 'em; there are
certainly a number of different things we could do. As far as any
which might require getting to a geocache near DML HQ here, there's
a park about a mile down the road from me, I could probably create
a geocache there, I was thinking of doing that anyway. :-) What
would be really cool is to have a geocache which is actually AT
DML HQ - on the property itself - but I'm not sure I'd want people
wandering around on the property looking for it all the time. :-)
So I guess the question is, how many DMLers are also into
geocaching? Even though I just stumbled into it myself, count me
among that number. :-)
