Madness

Jockser and GeoGuider pulled over on an off-ramp to make a quick find in a snowstorm, stopped the car, took the required photo, then jumped back in the car but the car wouldn't start. They had to call AMA, then wait 2 hours for the tow truck. The boost worked so a tow wasn't needed, then they continued on to get to Thanksgiing Dinner about 30 minutes late.  Oops!

Congratulations

To one and all...it's been a pleasure to hear your great news! Here's to more caching fun in 2026!!!
