It was a fun time with a lot of geocachers from all over and was possibly the most photographed event I've even been to. Here's to you, Delta Area Geocachers.

Delta Area Geocachers
Just a little over 8 years ago on May 20, 2007, the DeltaGeo Meet and Greet was held. It's not particularly easy to find information regarding the Delta Area Geocachers group now, but it was created and existed briefly during the GOWT geocaching war of 2007. It was created by two of the remaining members of the GOWT Executive Committee (after most of the others split off to form Jackson Area Geocachers) along with a third local cacher, and if it would have survived, GOWT would probably no longer exist.

May Events in West Tennessee
I haven't been doing much geocaching in the past two months. What little caching I have done is to fill days on my geocalendar. That's been a little tough because most of my empty days are during the week so I have to get up early to find a cache before heading into work.
I have been attending geocaching events whenever possible and this month I made it to two.
On May 3, I went to 15 Years of Geocaching! by Team SpiderMonkey | GC5RR65 at Shelby Farms Park to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Geocaching and of course get another meaningless "souvenir" to add to my digital collection.
I got to the park early and headed out to find nearby caches before the event. The first cache I found was Cache Hiders: A House Made of Bricks by Cache Hiders | GC5N85K. Excellent cache with a field puzzle to get the combination to a lock on the cache. I got the numbers, but could not read the lock to open it. I solved this problem by using my camera zoom to read the numbers. As a side note, there was much speculation at the event on the identity of "Cache Hiders", an alias for a cacher who has put out a half-dozen uniquely challenging caches recently. Personally, I don't care who he/she is.
After I got home I found a tick on my upper left arm. Two days later, I had a physical and showed my bite to the doctor who insisted on putting me on antibiotics for a week. Better safe than sorry, I guess.
My next event was 1K Journey with JoanKV, tuttik, and MorWoods by stemor | GC5THX4 on May 16. Lots of people came out to celebrate at a Mexican place in Cordova. It was fun, but crowded. I should have taken more pictures, but I did see a nice box one of the cachers had to store geocoins in.
