managed to find parts for my broken satellite dish. Got it fixed and up and running so am happy with my MTV again. Now have it weighted down with an extra 50 lbs of junk since high winds are expected this coming weekend. Here's a picture of some of the visitors for the cache I planted at the entrance to our lot. Riff Raff2 and Bronco Busters are friends we've made from previous Yuma visits. Here's the cache we found on Christmas day. Mommy+4 and hubby visited "Sweet Spot". She does her caching with her four kids and husband is a traveling nurse. They spend about 3 months at a location and then move on to where ever they're sent. Home school the kids....a real neat family. We looked for a cache about midnight last night, froze our butts off and finally had to give up on it. Some of our friends stopped by this morning and they couldn't find it either. JJ and Third Times the Charm also stopped by Sweet Spot this morning and they went looking for the new cache. We decided to look for it again before shopping for satellite parts. "JJ" accidentaly found it so he left his signature feather on the caches he was FTF. Third times the charm was still hunting when we arrived and it was whipping us again. "JJ" whizzed by, stopped, took pictures and gave us a little hint. We signed the log and slunked off with our tails between our legs. "Waggy" of the Blood Hound Gang whipped a bunch of us with this one before "JJ" found it. About 1600 another cache showed up about 24 miles to the east of us. We shot out the door since it seemed like it would be an easy one to find. We looked, drove down several dead end roads, found a 75 feet embankment and coordinates said it was still 100 yards away. We finally gave up and figured the coordinates were off. Stopped at a little kiosk at the way out that had information on petro glyphs in the area. I reread the print out and told Becky that this is where the cache had to be. We were 3/4 of a mile from the given coordinates. I beat the bushes, found some footprints and found the cache! "JJ" and "Paw Paw" from the Blood Hound Gang came to the conclusion that we did and were on their way out when they spotted us. I told 'em follow the footprints and they made the find too. "JJ" said he even scrambled down the embankment, ran into the Gila river and was still 235 feet short of cache coordinates. That's when he gave it up and met Paw Paw. "JJ" blamed his late arrival on the anchor he was dragging. He was at work when notification came in, took off and drug his trailer with him as he's going camping this weekend.
Interesting find, see this link for our adventure:

You'll have to cut and paste it. This was our 20th FTF and the second for the week. We're ahead of schedule.
Later, W&B
