AAR: Memory Lane

I completed the Memory Lane campaign today.

I've just come through a rough couple of weeks, and Tom thought that going out Geocaching would give me something to be happy about, so we planned for today to be the day. Since Tom had recently had some problems with his back, he requested that the geocaching be easy-going. I'd just put out an Adventure Lab, so I thought we could go ahead and grab some of the Adventure Labs in the area, as well as some caches that were close to each stop. This ended up working out really well. The Memory Lane campaign allowed Adventure Labs to be counted in the final point count, so after beginning the day with 55 points and having earned only two souvenirs to date, I ended up with 255 points and the final three souvenirs!

   

I liked that there were different point values for different caches, so that I could maximize the value of the caches that I visited - if I wanted to. In order to complete this campaign, a maximum of 40 or a minimum of 20 caches needed to be found. We found 32 today and were able to obtain 200 points. I thought it was funny that even though I wasn't trying to complete the whole campaign in one day, I very possibly could have with today's effort. I had actually planned to double-dip with Memory Lane and Wonders of the World, and even possibly International Geocaching Day, but I like that this campaign is done with before starting the next one.
