Maple Cotton Candy is Awesome

On May 1st we went to the Maple Festival in St Albans.

They block off a portion of the main strip in the city, right next to a park, and have all sorts of booths and vendors. There are also other activities in nearby buildings such as craft and antique shows. We had a great time exploring St Albans as well as trying various maple inspired foods. As with most activities you can always find some time for caching!

I shouldn't even be here
Our first and only stop of the day was a small size cache between Swanton and Highgate. I used our GPSr, the Magellan eXplorist GC, to filter out anything too small since this would be our only cache and we wanted to trade some swag. The cache was hidden in a spot we had only encountered once before and was well protected from the elements. Zoey really liked the container since it had Elmo on it :) We decided to send out our first geocoin using this cache. My mother also traded some swag that she had picked up at the festival. This ended up being a great choice for our only cache of the day!
