Out in the Open Gift
Merry Christmas Dad!
Do you ever wonder what to get someone for Christmas, and you just can’t think of anything? My Dad is the kind of man that likes gifts that create memories as well as fun. I could not think of a better gift to give him than a geocache. He is an avid geocacher with 1,000s of finds. He lives up in North Carolina while I am down her in Macon, Ga. I thought that creating a geocache would be a creative way to get him down south to brave the chaotic traffic and come and visit. So Dad now that your Christmas present is so far away guess you will just have to make a run of caches to come on down.
So Dad, Merry Christmas! I Love you very much, enjoy the hunt!
P.S. Don’t forget to check out my other cache in this park called Merry Geo Mini and y dads other cache present in NC: Merry Geo Dad
