    Retrieve It from a Cache 11/20/2003 Candy Apple Green retrieved it from Izaac Walton Minnesota   Visit Log

    When I saw this very special tribute to your daughter, I knew I had to get it. I skipped out of work early,on a very warm 60 degree day, just to do so. I had a woderful time walking through the woods along some very pretty ponds to reach this location. There were ducks, geese, sqirrels and a few chipmunks also enjoying the rare warm November day.
    I did find your bundle of joy snuggly wrapped in a cozy little cache, hidden out on a penensula overlokking the main lake.
    My family would like to extend a big Minnesota hug to you and your family. Thank you for the honor of caring for such a special traveller. She is with us in spirit today, and will be always.
    I am not a religeous man, but I plan on adding a small cross for it's safe journey back to you. My wife and daughters,would like to add a pink bow, to make it fitting for your lovely daughter. Bless you and may you know our hearts are with you. Mike,Jen, Riana and Ranice

    Picked up Amanda on our road trip. We were driving my Dad's car, dog & fish south for the winter so Amanda had lots of company.

    Found Amanda in Alabama and will get her off to a good start by placing her in a zip lock with passport documents identifying her goal to future Geocachers. I'll then place her in a TB motel close to where she can continue her travels. Thanks for allowing us involved in Geocaching share her memory.
