"Room 266 Travel Bug Hotel" find #51 on 10/12/08

Logging this find had an interesting twist, you were to leave a story of what happened in room 266. Here's the log we left:
"Not being a master of story telling, lets just say that what happened in room 266 should stay in room 266. It was hectic, sometimes loud, and some may even say scary. I know some wooden nickels for the Allegany State Park GeoBash IV some how ended up on the "floor". A line was starting to form near the door, so we just did what we had to do and left. We will always remember Room 266!

TFTC!!"

It was a nice find that was right out in the open at the event. Unfortunately, we never thought to take a picture!! Oh well.

Oh, I forgot to mention in the other post that this was the first event we took our new "GeoTruck" travel bug to. You can check that out at:

OK, OK, I know what you are asking. How does an event count as a find? We aren't sure of that either, but geocaching.com counts it, so we will to. If I had to guess, it would be that you have to be able to find your way to the event, so it counts as a find!

This is our second event and we had a great time!! We got to see some really neat coins, plus we were near the coveted completed AGT coinset all placed in a neat wooden plaque. We have decided that once the trail is complete, we will head down to Elkwood Art and purchase a plaque for one of our coin sets! We are starting to get close enough now that we feel we can do it!!

One of the neat "mixer" activities of the event included cute little pins. When you checked in, you received a bag that had lots of goodies in it including 3 matching pins. You had to walk around and see if other people would trade you so that you would end up with a set of 3 different pins. That was a little daunting as we came later than a lot of people, but I'm glad to report we were successful!

Until next time......
