2021 - My Year in Review

Boy, am I late this year! For the first week of January, I was on a cruise and had no internet access and I feel like I'm lucky to have finished my graphic today. Unfortunately, this year I did not complete a single goal that I made last year. Blame it on the pandemic.
So, without any further interuption, this was my geocaching year in all it's glory!

So, as is evidenced by the above graphic, I earned all of the souvenirs offered by Geocaching this year. In addition to all of those, a new country souvenir was created for Jamaica, where I've found a cache several years ago and I "found" my first locationless cache, GC8NEAT. We participated in the 2021 Cache Across Maryland as well as completed enough of the American Revolution GeoTrail in New Jersey to earn the geocoin. I've been sending in submissions for the "I Found Sparticus" contest in FTF Geocacher magazine for some time, and I finally won an I Found Sparticus Pathtag in the random drawing of all correct entries, and had my geonick published in the magazine. I also earned a Pathtag for completing the Amish Country Driving Tour put out by CodyHollowFarm.
So, goals for this year? At the risk of sounding snarky, or like a broken record, just look at my goals from last year. I will attempt to complete a few GeoTours that are hanging - Experience Tioga County (only three left, one was archived since we were there last) and Berkeley Gadgets (four caches). Once again, we will attempt to get to Washington state for the Geocaching 20th Aniversary Celebration. If that happens, we'll go for the Trifecta, regardless of whether or not the Project APE event happens. So, the remaining Project APE cache, Original Stash Plaque and Geocaching Headquarters. Then, two new GeoTours - the HQ GeoTour and the Bonneville Bigfoots Search GeoTour.
Maybe this will be the year and I can finally cross these items off of my list!
