On this gorgeous summer day, take your teddy bear (or teddy bears) out for a day in the sun. It's time for a Teddy Bear Picnic! Have mom make a few PB& J sandwiches, some cookies, and a jug of fruit juice. Take a blanket out under a shade tree, and enjoy lunch with your Teddy.

The Origin of the Teddy Bear:
During the early 1900s, President Theodore Roosevelt was in office as President of the United States. He was a hunter. While hunting in Mississippi in 1902, he refused to shoot a small bear. The Washington Post picked up on this story, and made a cartoon of the event. Toy store owners, Morris and Rose Michtom, wrote to President Roosevelt for permission to call their stuffed animals "Teddy Bears". Teddy bears became wildly popular. Their company went on to become the Ideal Toy Company, one of the largest toy companies in the world.

Peace love pi and I headed out and about today to grab a few. We thought it was going to be cold, but it was a beautiful morning. I have this crazy flirtation with finding all the traditionals within a 10 mile radius. We started at a southern spot and started working our way north. Both of us were on it, and we wound up finding a lot of caches that had previous DNFs. Thanks for the smiley!

Out with NTM this afternoon grabbing caches. We took on about 5.5 miles total and found 9/12 caches. There was still a good amount of snow on the grab, but that did not affect us for the most part. Thanks for all the caches.

Had a great time today finding (and not finding) a number of caches with benj59 and T&A137. As stated previously, I did actually find this one, which was not a common occurrence for the day. Thanks for the fun addition to a great day of caching.

Out on the trail with FearTheFish and T&A137. Contrary to popular belief, FearTheFish actually did find a few more than this one. On this DNF Power Trail we were glad for any find we could get!

Found with Cachly app for iOS
