Agenda for the day:
1) Finish the Donut GeoTrail
2) Start (and hopefully finish) the Quilt Trail
We got up extra early to try to make sure we
finished up the Donut Trail. We actually found a
mistake we made yesterday by failing to write
down the code word for a geocache in the series.
Now the trick was to figure out which cache
we failed to record! It wasn't too hard
and we quickly corrected our mistake, met some
more geocachers and then made it to the Visitor
Center to claim our coin!!!

Day 6 - May 23
When we first started planning this trip, this was an
open day with no particular agenda. But since
we missed one quilt yesterday on the Quilt Trail - the
first thing on our list for the day was to finish
the trail and get our coin!!!

| Psst... you want a hint for the quilt? |
our missing quilt!!! We then made our way to
the Tourism Center, met a really nice lady and had a great conversation about some local attractions and
then received our coin!!!
During my research (before the trip) I had noticed
a cache with a lot of favorite points and it seemed like
something Nana would like. Off we headed
towards what would be a surprise for Nana!!!

| A castle in Ohio? |
Nana loved the castle - but if I know Nana - I know
there is one thing she loves more!!! Cemetery
caches - especially in a cemetery with tons of history!!!

Day 8 - May 25
Our pre-planning had this as an open day. No real plans!
So when we were invited to tag along with some
fellow geocachers - we jumped at the chance!!!
Plus, I knew they were really good at Reverse Wherigo caches!!!
We started out on the Cincinnati's waterfront park - what
a great place!!!

We ran into some other cachers, really nice people,
together we completed 2 Wherigos and a couple of traditional caches before heading further into the downtown area.
After a few more caches we exchanged some trading items and then went on our way.
We ended the day by grabbing more caches in and
around the Cincinnati area.
Nana & I did have one MAJOR accomplishment
on this particular day - - - Find #9500!!!
Special thanks goes out to Chihuahuak94me and her husband Michael for all the help!!
