MSP Airport Earthcache - Cretaceous Sea Creatures

Traveling to Montana for a week with HeyThereDlilah, MrGeoSpyder and the other two myrthlings. As a well-prepared geocacher, I had sought out airport virtuals, EarthCaches, and ALs we could do during layovers. I was SUPER pleasantly surprised to find one placed by one of my Houston geobuddies, so it HAD to be on the list.

HTD and -thling #2 stayed at the gate with our luggage while MGS and -thling #3 made the 0.2 mile trek to the cache site. We almost overshot our intended GZ because I was targeting the original Waypoint. Fortunately, I remembered to look for the toony landmark. Short on time, we took pictures of the fossils and ourselves (with appreciated help from a passing flight attendant) and then beat it back to our gate. We probably could’ve lingered longer because we are back and STILL waiting for boarding to begin. Sigh. Such is air travel. Don’t they know adventure awaits?!

Answers sent via GC app. Great geology + fun diversion + from a friend = 💚

Thank you, LuckyFeather. God bless! 2 Corinthians 5:21
