ChatSince the instigator of the cache suggested we have a thread to discuss the Challenge...here we go.
a) I can't believe I forked over $20 for the paper atlas which I now tab obsessively
b) Huh, so that's where all those place in WV are. Nice my geographic knowledge sucks.
c). I have 15 pages completed...it looks like a lot more little tabs than that....a lot more.

I also bought the atlas and started on the Challenge last year but haven't added too many pages this year. I need to get back at it.

I picked up pages 39 and 49 Saturday. 49 is fun since it's mostly in Virginia and only has a sliver of WV. I thought I messed up when I got home and started entering my finds. There were 3 caches on the trail and the first two I entered were in VA. I picked up 4 pages at the SMAGPI event. I missed getting the fifth by about 5 miles. I now have 31 pages. I should have done this before gas got so expensive.

this is what I'm targetting:
page 41 (near mall)
Page 42 (Scary)
Page 52 (Marmet)
Page 53 (Montgomery)
page 44 (wallback) - on my way either down or back, depending on what time I leave from the North
page 45 (Flatwoods) - same as above
as you can see, I have no life. But this is a fabulous business trip and I should have a good bit of free time. Let's just hope I maintain my focus!
Thursday I have a meeting from 1 - 3 (if it goes that long) at Soho's at the Market. Probably going to come down Thursday morning instead of Weds PM.
