A Quick Shoutout to Twinkle
the Sentient Bike!
From Iceland...
...to the GAP trail from Pittsburgh to DC...
Twinkle is a low-budget commuter bike with a sassy attitude...and has tolerated going on a few ill-contrived adventures. You don't need to have fancy stuff or be an elite athlete to do a silly adventure. Twinkle and I have ridden thousands of miles (slowly) together, including from California to Florida and around Iceland. Anyone can do this...all you need is a sentient bike with a personality.
...from San Diego to Key West!.
Twinkle has (begrudgingly) done it all.

What is Geocaching?
Around you, at this veeeery moment...secret, hidden treasures are just waiting to be found! So. Get the app and go find them! People hide stuff. You go find stuff. Sometimes they are itty bitty and just a piece of paper to sign. Other times they are BIG containers with trinkets to swap!
