Cachin' in August Part 5

August 24:  Back at home after a few days in Missouri, we got up early for a breakfast event at Ryan's in Union City to celebrate Comet Clover achieving the 1,000th find.

August 25:  After church, minnie mouse and I went to Union City for lunch at Arby's and pick up caulking at Lowe's.  While in town, we found Monster in the Bushes!, a unique style of hide.

August 26:  Business run into Gibson County and visit to Medina.  Since I had time, I left the easy one in town alone and went out of my way for 3 cachers that were out of town.  Spring Creek Bottom, a regular size cache at a TWRA hunting area.  Appears this area get a lot of dumping too.  dont TRIPP, had concerns if I would find this one, but quick search, it was there.  Ready to Launch, almost regretted coming after this cache.  Easy guard rail, but parking is an issue, traffic was heavy and came close to my new truck sliding into the guard rail.

August 27:  Another business trip to Henry County.  Being that I have no cases in placement, it has been to my advantage to have cases in Weakley, Gibson and Henry counties at this geo-time.  Returned to Memorial Park in Paris to grab 2A's, B, C & D #1, coordinates are off by 57 feet.  Guess another phone cacher?

August 28:  Travel to caches to grab cache days in this month getting a little tiresome.  Another run to Union City to grab One More Time-Which Way-NOT!!! WARNING!!!

August 29:  Made another trip to Union City, this time ignoring the new 3 caches, 2 of which I drove past to pick up, DA PLANE!! DA PLANE!!DA PLANE!!.  An easy P&G near the airport.  Afterwards, I was catching up on Facebook and read where LSUMonica had passed away.  I edited my log to reflect this loss to our geocaching community and made the find to this great cacher and friend of mine.  She fought a hard fight against cancer.

August 30:  Had business in Gibson County, visited a small park on the older part of Medina, Medina Little League, where I also signed the name of LSUMonica who lost her 4-year battle with cancer this week.

August 31: Last day of cachin' in August and picked up two new caches, UC Bound 1 and UC Bound 2.

In conclusion, I was not able to log a find every day and none of the finds were in my home county, I had to travel several miles. I did observe that a few cachers who were out of the game or no longer competitive, did revive for this streak.
