Pasco-ing

Well, we decided to change up the mode of transportation just a little. We were going to hit up the Tri-cities Geocoin Challenge this year, but this year's event coincided with the heat wave, which brought 111 degrees to Pasco. No thank you; that's when we decided to hit the coast a couple of weeks ago. It's been a little cooler, so no time like the present to try and complete the challenge. We hopped a jet plane, rented a car, and hit the road. This year's challenge was pirate themed with an incredible five piece coin.

It was go, go, go all day long. We bumped into a couple of groups attempting the same mission. Honestly, I wasn't quiet sure we were going to be able to finish with our time contraints of having to catch the last flight out of Pasco at 6pm. But somehow we managed to motivate and squeeze in 30 caches, which is an all time high number for us, and had just a little time to spare. At least we saved ourselves 7 hours of driving to the Tri-cities area and back. So this is the fourth coin we've collected, the first one being the 2012 coin. 

We also managed to slide in Sacagawea State Park while in Pasco for a total of 73 state parks.
