A newer activity from geocaching.com is THE CHALLENGE. People are creating great challenges (ok true, some are lame too) of many kinds. Some involve the willingness to make a fool of yourself! Such as singing a specific song, or giving a performance on a musical instrument even if you don't play ... In Public!

Our first challenge, discovered by Cache-machine, can be found on the web here: http://www.geocaching.com/challenges/CX2DF9_You_Animal_Art.

We had fun rising to the occasion since we had just seen a number of painted Bison in South Dakota. Cache-machine found out all about them and completed the challenge. geo.sweetie knew of a collection of fun geese statues in Longmont Colorado, researched them, and completed the challenge.

Here are the fun Animal Art statues that we found in completing the game. Plus random artsy critters we've seen here and there!
