Cachin' in August Part 1

Groundspeak is offering souvenirs for finds on any day in August; pushing the agenda to have a 31-day streak.  My personal best streak of 18 days was set in August 2010 when on R&R leave from Operation Iraqi Freedom.  With caches being 20 or more miles from home, I would not be able to complete the streak, but am enjoying the time getting out and seeing different places.

August 1:  Trip on business to Paris and grabbed West Fam #1, looked closely at the back 9 of the disc golf course.

August 2:  Duties in the office and home prevented any trips on this day.

August 3:  Planned to attend a CITO on the Land Between the Lakes, while on the way, my truck developed mechanical problems.  Problem was a blown head gasket and this cacher limped the truck back home with no cache finds.

August 4:  Stayed near home, out looking for a new vehicle.

August 5:  Planned trip to Nashville airport, during my lunch hour, I picked up:  Here's to You!, #9, #9 (Your tax dollars at work), Two Grand for Tennessee, Music City Travel Bug Hotel.

August 6: Took a day off to find a new vehicle.  After purchase of a 2013 Nissan Frontier, I grabbed Welcome to Union City #2

August 7: New caches popping up on Union City, side trips are being made.  Found Which Way?

August 8: Trip to Paris and found 2 A's, B, C & D #3

August 9: Another trip into Henry County and found John, the closest cache to my home and only one within 20 miles.

August 10: Attended Disaster Relief Training with Southern Baptist in Union City.  Prior to class, I drove to Hickman and found Hickman Bluff Project

August 11:  Yard work at home, no time to cache.

August 12:  Side trip to Union City, once again, found Veteran's Park Pavilion

August 13:  Business took me to Gibson County and picked up Go Hornets!   and Medina Micro

August 14:  A return trip to Union City, Veteran's Park Pine.  Took a walk around the trail.

August 15:  Business in Paris and found 2A's, B, C & D #5, this one was difficult.

August 16: Visit to Milan and grabbed Field of Dreams.

More to follow......
