today.......sorta played the day "by ear", the only thing we HAD to do was attend Old Folks Day at the casino and collect our "free" ten bucks. We made our way slowly to the casino via the Mall, stopped at Target, Best Buy and Circuit City and spent a couple of bucks. On Mondays the casino adds $10.00 to your club card that you can use to gamble. Becky has been "saving" her's up and anticipated having $30.00 to play with after today. I didn't spend mine last Monday so figured I'd have $20.00 to play with. No so...the casino wipes your slate clean after one week so Becky had $20.00 to play instead of $30.00. I had $20.00 free money so we put it in a machine and had our "free" drinks also. After we played the $40.00 we had $24.00 that we could cash in........and did so! Two of our caches were located nearby so we stopped to check on them and Becky took pictures of one of them. The cache is located inside one of the nuts. It has given some people problems in finding it. The historic "Ocean to Ocean" bridge that crosses the Colorado River at Yuma/California overlooks the park area. We drove up the street where we finished up Christmas Shopping at the local Dollar Store. Great stop.........we managed to finish up shopping for EVERYONE we know and spent less than $20.00 doing so.
Later we stopped by Sue and Frank's since we were kinda close.....we also were looking for a place to put a new cache but still haven't come up with an ideal location yet. Got home about 1530 and I had a messagage from a friend who said his new cache would be published some time that afternoon. At 1553 it showed up on the screen. We knew exactly where it was so off we went trying to be First To Find. We arrived at the cache scene at 1609, took pictures, signed the log, made a trade of some goodies and left before anyone else showed up. We had beaten the Guru!!!
This was a neat cache.........a Santa Claus "Outhouse" with a couple of reindeer on top, you opened the door and there sits Santa making a "deposit". We had seen it in its construction phase but the completed cache was simply outstanding! Sure hope it doesn't get destroyed because a lot of work and thought went into it's construction!
Well, that's about the end of our day. The weather sure has been cold recently, I think it barely made it into the middle, and possibly, or upper 60s. Brrrrrrrrr!
Later, W&B
