We had 17 days to get there and back: over 10,000 km, through 13 states. Marie packed geocaching gear. Her goal was to complete the "Jasmer Challenge" to find a cache set in every month since 2000. I packed my paints and faced my own challenge to keep the inner momentum going that I had started in art school.
Thanks to Celia, Donna, Susan, Aisha, Faisal, and Andalah -- who kept our home and creatures safe and happy while we were on the road.
