My geocaching adventures started in July and some of my first finds were in Montana, where we were visiting my family in early August. Two of the containers we found there were this type. My sister Nancy was with us as well as a group of nieces and nephews when we found one of these.
Nancy was a second grade teacher who loved her students, taught them, counseled them, and prayed for them. She knew how to make them work all week and rewarded them with games on Friday afternoons. She was the eighth child and youngest girl in her family. She was funny, sweet, and loved by all. She had a quirky sense of humor and could make the funniest faces, bringing laughter to so many situations. Nancy gave of herself readily and selflessly. She spent a few summers in Florida with one of her sisters, whose very young son was suffering from cancer. Despite her extreme dislike of hospitals, she spent hours in a hospital room with this little boy and made many trips back and forth caring for her sister’s other children. After accepting his proposal on a Washington state mountaintop, she married the love of her life on December 23 of last year. In August, she was suddenly killed in a car accident. She is missed by so many people and is remembered fondly in many, many hearts.
This cache is placed in memory of Nancy. It is geared toward children and contains gifts for them as well as the instructions for one of her favorite games, Kick the Can. She started a round of this game at almost every family gathering, gatherings of friends, and on Fridays with her class. She wanted all who were able, no matter how young or old, to participate in the fun.
This is a letterbox cache, so the original stamp must remain in the cache. Please no swag trading, but Travel Bugs are welcome. Sign the log as normal or use your own unique stamp. Please note how things come out of the cache, so that you can fit them all back in when you leave. Cache is placed on private property, with permission of the pastor.
Have fun caching and hug those you love often!
