GC1NX63: "Just Ducky" in Long Lake Park by TopGear
nominated by Jam3s
I would like to nominate "Just Ducky" in Long Lake Park as when I was going through the caches I hadn't seen a cache like the outside container. The real shock was when I opened up the outside container to see the interior container that I really liked and the reason for the nomination. I think that the sign on the interior container was icing on the cake. This cache was definitely a shock. If you haven't checked it out at the KB 2000th hide, you should head out there as soon as possible. _________________ ~~ I was told all I needed was a GPS. I wanted everything else. ~~ |

It's a new virtual, worthy of nomination on that alone. |

I'd like to nominate "Headless Horseman" which is a gruesome traveling cache. The photo is from Halloween Hoopla -- Land of The Lost
http://img.geocaching.com/cache/log/203ef616-95d9-49af-b417-08f927cb1eb0.jpg
It was also at the First Minnesota Cache Bash -- Five Years Later
I didn't actually ever *find* it, but I'm the caretaker. Oops, I guess that makes it "my" cache? Oh yeah, it's a temp at Events. And those two Events have been archived.
I guess that's three strikes against it. I withdraw the nomination.

GC1RMJZ Elmer Bunyan by The Ruderat Crew. Nominated by KRedEP
For those of us in the SW Metro, we are spoiled. The quality of the caches is extremely high – this cache continues that trend. This is the first Wherigo cache in Minnesota. That fact alone deserves a nomination. But what makes this cache special is the amount of effort that was put into this cache to create a fun, special and enjoyable experience. At the park you are taken on an adventure complete with choices to make, trails to follow, and corny jokes to add to the excitement. Reading the logs you know that those who completed this cache thought it was a special experience. People who have completed Wherigo’s in other states have remarked how truly special our first one is. The bar has been set high here in Minnesota. A whereigo cache requires a Colorado or Oregon. There are plenty of them out there – if you don’t have one, try to borrow. |

I was thinking that the cache located at the Dakota County Sheriff's office would make a great COM for this month. It's of a high quality, has lots of intrigue and is extremely difficult to find. Makes for a great caching experience. _________________ Airborne All the Way! |
