This would drive me insane....maybe KingB. has the time for this....

All the drawings have been made by traveling along the shapes and squiggles using Global Positioning System (GPS).

Better yet...seems like one heck of a MultiCache......Who is going to set up one!!

I just had to show everybody this for a chuckle.

My Dad, Minnesota Jack had set up a cache in a corn maze near his town of Fairhaven. It was kind of cool to map where you were in the maze and then figure out the route to take to continue ahead. Kind of like the writing on the ground thing shown in the last post. Sad to say, but this cache was not approved because the GC folks felt it wasn't permanent enough and temporary caches are not allowed. Heck, in this situation it would probably have lasted longer than some I've put out and also some that I have hunted. The owner, at the farm was really looking forward to sponsoring that cache for the season. I wonder if it could have been a themed thing and change for the different seasons? JK

Hey, that sounds neat what MN Jack had in mind. Hey Chad, maybe we can make a Forum topic that folks could make there own cache pages for us MN locals. Kind of like our own Geocaching.com. We could post our own temperary caches and the like. I do not have anything against temporary caches at events such as the State Fair like we had last year. I guess a person would not get creadit for it at Geocaching.com, but some of these would still be fun to do. Chad, let us know if this would work. Rob
