Maplewood has the LRT series on a nice walking/biking path, maybe some weekend (or evening) you guys would want to do these...there are only 3 on the trail, but there are many not far from the trail.

If your interested, I can put together a trip plan and put it out here for voting on.

Why vote? Let's just do it 
I believe this was the series of caches Moe recommended to me yesterday seeing as I really enjoyed the last one.

| Sure, I'll do it...how far off the trail do you want to go? There are only three caches on the trail, the rest are within a few streets of the trail..shouldn't be a big deal. I'll try to work on that tonight. |

A mile or two? It'd be nice to get at least a dozen or so if possible.

Ok, I have created a page to show you the route I have planned and give you the GPX file I created.
Let me know what you think:

No. I mentioned Elm Creek Park in Maple Grove. Iron Man Dan has 10 caches there and there are three or four others, all easlily accessible from oike paths.

*is really going to have to look for things in the south east metro*
We'll see how things go...may end up having to run to Duluth again this weekend, and with Fargo coming up I don't know what time I have for anything anymore

No, the cool way to do Binary Blunders is to just go to the posted coordinates and guess the location of the cache.. rickrich-style!

To be honest, that probably would be easier, I found this code very hard to work with...it took me a while to decrypt it. |

I remember seeing that. Hope it works, because I figured out Monk, but not Binary Blunders.
