Ohhhh route 2...Kristen, Quang, Zack and I decided that Geocaching is really a good way to make it through the really, really long days on the same road into a headwind. Today our Geo treasure waited for us at mile 60 and it was pretty hard to find (hidden inside of the statepark sign) but it was lucky that we decided to look for the cache because not only did we each get cool prizes (plastic rings in exchange for neat walnuts and a business card) but we also found a bike trail that got us off the route for about 3 miles which was great!
Once we got the Bemidji we learned that they apparently take claim for Paul Bunyan and his Ox too, so they constructed these lovely statues. The town was excited that we were there so the newspaper came and took a picture of all of us in front of good ol' Paul.
GeoCaching: Geocaching (pronounced geo-cashing) is a worldwide game of hiding and seeking treasure. A geocacher can place a geocache in the world, pinpoint its location using GPS technology and then share the geocache's existence and location online. Anyone with a GPS unit can then try to locate the geocache. (www.geocaching.com)
