FireRef (Found it) GC7B09 - Mall of America Cache III (2/1) by TECGeoJim
This was one of the last couple of caches BVFDJR, FFKid, and I did on a trip to Minnesota to see the Mall of America and whatever other interesting things we could find. We actually looked for this one in the parking lot, because it is listed as a traditional, but realized when reading the cache page that it wasn't quite labeled correctly. We weren't able to go back in at that point (because we were all too tired to go chasing clues), but came back today. The first thing we did was solve the clues for the numbers, and that wasn't too bad except for one of them - we had a little trouble finding the one store. Then, we headed out to find the next part. It took a little while to find the tiles, but once we did, we found the right ones right away. Next stop was looking for the store that had the cache, and that was pretty quick once we figured out which direction to go. The gentleman in the store messed with us a little when we asked about the cache, but it was all in good fun. Thanks for bringing us here and taking us on the little tour of the mall. It was well worth the time!

FireRef (Found it) GC1HAXQ - Mairzy Doats (1.5/1.5) by Tacoma Homer
This was one of the last couple of caches BVFDJR, FFKid, and I did on a trip to Minnesota to see the Mall of America and some other things in the area. This was just outside the campground we stayed at for the week. We waited until the last night we were there, and hunted for it after it was dark. It was a little difficult for us to find, stumbling around in the dark, but we eventually made the find. Thanks for bringing us here and putting this out for us to find!
