Back from the Northeast!

I got back last night around 8:00 p.m.

The long weekend trip was awesome. Caching in PA, WV & MD rocked. The scenery was fantastic and the autumn leaves were about a week beyond their peak, but still were a sight to behold.  I had a great group of people that I cached this multi-state run with and we all had so much fun on Saturday.

The GeocoinFest events were a blast. I traded so many coins and met so many people. I think they're estimating attendance at around 620 people, probably more counting family members.

I think I got a total of 14 hours of sleep across 3 nights and I am plain worn out. It was so good to be in my own bed last night and actually sleep solidly through a night for a change.

I have lots of photos, but really no time to post more than the two I added today. I only had those ready because I tried to upload them Sunday from the hotel and gather was not being cooperative.

Since last Thursday, I only logged onto Gather daily to clear out emails and friend & group invites. I didn't have time to look at or read anything. I'll do my best to catch up, but today I have been slammed so far and barely have time to post this.

I'm glad you had a great time!

14 hours of sleep over 3 nights? I'd be thrilled with that. Another one of the joys of menopause.

I know how you are feeling. I slept really well last night. It takes me about 3 days to get back my sleep after a mega event.

So glad you had fun, and that you got home safely. You were missed! Can't wait to see more pictures, and hear more about it.

Don't worry about catching up on comments. Just get some rest. I'm so glad you're back...I missed you! (It still seems kind of wierd that I would miss someone on line..)

It sounds like you had a great trip and I look forward to the pictures. And you're so right...there's nothing like your own bed!
Sherrie H. Oct 14, 2008, 7:23pm UTC
Don't worry about catching up - start out fresh! You deserve a break every once in awhile! Glad you had a good time!

I could only catch up through Saturday Night. That's as far back as my feed went. If I missed anything really important or an outstanding photo, link me.

Glad you had such fun, welcome back. It does one good to be out and about, it's reviatalizing.
I still don't understand all your geo-caching, but I like all the photos you take during the events and when you geo-cache.
Nice to have you back, Marianne - missed ya.:)
