My own ‘Oscar’…
Tonite we went to the Central Texas Geocachers Awards. It was held at GattiTown in Oak Hill. Not my first choice but the kids loved it. The awards were for the best geocaches in the Austin area. They were voted on by locals. There were awards for best camouflaged, best themed, best multi-cache, and so on. About 15 awards in all.
One of my caches,The Rock That Rolls, won two awards. The first was for the ‘Most Innovate Cache’. The second award was the biggie. I won the Best All Around Geocache of 2003. Of the 400 or so geocaches around Austin mine was voted the favorite. I was surprised at that one. It’s a cool geocache but I never thought that it’d get as popular as it has gotten. People can be rabid about it, almost fighting for the chance to be the next finder. For the top honor I was given a small ‘Oscar’ of my own and the even cooler Golden Ammo Can award. A very well painted gold ammo box. I’m trying to decide if I’ll hide it or pass it on to next year’s winner.
Now I have to top the Rock this year to win next year. 🙂
