to El Centro today and did a little caching along the way. Asked Suz and Frank if they wanted to go and away we went. First two pics in collage were yesterday.....it sure didn't look like a cache was hidden where I was standing.....but there was. Saturday the new cache that came out stumped a bunch of us. Becky and I finally fished it out of a metal pipe with a walking stick and duct tape after everyone had left. Today we made a few stops here and there and picked up six caches near El Centro. The old tree in the middle was guarding a very old, unkept cemetary that had some interesting grave markers. People are cautioned not to visit the cemetary after dark.........strange sights have been observed in the tree and equally strange sounds have been heard coming from the graveyard!! All the more reason to visit during the day. North of El Centro is a sugar refinery and Becky and Frank pointed out the sea level sign painted high on the towers. Took some pictures as we passed through the Buttercup Sand Dunes. Very busy this weekend, probably due to President's Day and an extra weekend day for some.
Becky and I got home and discovered that 4 new caches had been published. Two hadn't been logged as found yet so we jumped back in the car and drove the 18 or so miles east of us to find them. Located them with flashlights but found that two others had already been there. Bummer. End of about a 300 mile day and I ended up at 1,199 finds. Need one tomorrow for a small milestone. W&B
