Monday...............

finally got a little rain last night and a few sprinkles this morning. The real nasty weather never appeared. Down to the Doc's for another knee injection this morning and then we decided to try and grab some FTF caches that were published late last night. They were north and east of Glamis Sand Dunes and we put about 150 miles on the Suzuki today. Averaged about one cache per 16 or so miles driven....that's not too good. Did manage to make it to 1100 finds though. One of our caching friends, La84fishn, started out for these caches while it was still dark outside.......he said he couldn't sleep.......ha, some people will do anything for a first to find. We didn't make it to the first one until 1000, he had already been there so we just started hunting for some that we had missed on our previous trip to Glamis. A little cool and a few sprinkles but it finally warmed up by the time we started back to Yuma. Today was Old Folks day at the casino, had lunch about 1330, got our free money, played it and then cashed in $14.00.

Wow, football game just over...........how about LSU, I think they were 4 point underdogs!

Here's a few pictures of our day's adventure. Found an old volkswagen in the desert the other day and was hunting for a place to hide a cache. Finally gave up on it, the other cachers might keelhaul me if I place another one in an old wreck. Lots of place to hide a little magnetic one and they have problems with them. This morning GPSr said 200+ feet to the cache, I said crap, it's on top of that hill. Drove around to the other side of the hill and fortunately we didn't have to climb up the hill very far to find the cache. This monument marked a portion of the old Columbian Trail used by the local indians a million years or so ago. Some saddist placed a cache in the middle of an ocotillo, they are sharp and thorny. Fortunately I had my jacket on and gloves so I replaced it even deeper. Becky finds a cookie tin under a bush.

Drove a little further on and found another marker for the Columbian Trail. Last chance for a FTF was in this tree, no luck. Told Becky she looked like a grump so she brightened up somewhat and I had to take another picture. Found a DECON container on the way to my number 1100 find, which was the ammo can up a canyon. Soft, wet sand to drive on but we were able to drive very close to the cache. Good thing there weren't any flash floods today, I'd like to see one; but, not while we're in a canyon.

More later is anything interesting happens. W&B
