Finally Made It To Wednesday..............

and last night a new cache was published. A couple of guys were unable to find it in the dark so we thought we'd go look for it this morning. Just before we left three new caches popped up in our "back yard", so to speak, they were all within 3 miles of our abode. We altered course and headed for the closest one. Spent a loooong time looking for the first one and two other cachers showed up and joined in the hunt. I finally found it and then 4 of us ganged up on the other two and found them pretty quickly. We met a little old granny lady, josie b, who does her caching all by her lonesome..........seems her old man would prefer to sit home and bitch about the places she drives their car rather then join her. Guess she tries to make it go where a 4 x 4 is required. She was a kick in the pants to talk to and hope we meet up with her again. We then headed downtown for a cache called Garden Party. This was located in an old John Deere tractor in the middle of a nice little park. We never knew it existed. The park was really neat with a lot of plants, flowers, picnic areas and tons of stuff for kids. We spent a long time looking for the cache and Becky finally came up with it stuffed under the cowling of the old tractor. Results of today efforts, two FTF and four new caches for the day. Ended up the day by taking in Old Folks day at one casino for our "free money" and then going to the other casino to spend our Monday "free money". I ended up $21.00 ahead and that probably paid for the gas we used.

Posting some pics, one of Larry and josie b and me and some of the "Garden Party" area. Good day, temps in the 70s but the wind is starting to pick up a bit..........oh well can't have everything!
