Java1369 (Nikki) leaped, or as you'll find out-maybe rolled, into action this February and was rewarded by becoming our next Adventure Awaits winner.  Logging all of her qualifying caches on Leap Day itself means she just snuck into the running for the drawing. Nikki was halfway through her caching day when she remembered that there was a monthly challenge, and looked over the caches she'd done and realized that she qualified.  "It was a good time, and next time I will come at it with more planning." Her challenge geocaches (four different sizes with one event) are:

GC8AQPZ (Regular) Regular Ol' Cache

GC842DF (Large) Swamp's Edge

GCA465M (Small) Dial P for Penguin

GCAJ10E (Other- Event) Leap Day Lunch

To date, Nikki has found 775 caches. She started geocaching in September 2008, just before her second son was born, because she wanted a fun activity to do with her oldest.  Being the young muggle that he was, however, he was "utterly uninterested in treasure hunting and to this day prefers chucking rocks into lakes" instead.  So caching has become a solo activity for Nikki and besides giving her time in nature, away from the house, it has also brought her to places she would not have otherwise gone.  Although she had almost a 3 year slump at one point, this Leap year Nikki is trying to get as many caches as she can.  She said, "originally I wanted one a day, but after a couple of 'off' days, now I'm aiming for 1000 by the end of the year." 

Besides her geocaching hobby, Nikki keeps plenty busy as a school bus driver, a wife and mother.  But if that's not enough, her extensive list of arts and crafts keep her occupied, as well as her really awesome hobby of roller derby.  Yes!  You read that right.  Nikki skates for the Confluence Crush roller derby on the B Team.  Her derby name is Java Sparkles, because it was her kids' favorite choice from a provided list.  And her derby number is 1369, which she claims is because she is a particulary unlucky person.  So now you know why her geoname is Java1369.  But Nikki...with this February Adventure Awaits win, I think your luck has changed.
