Thursday And Getting Closer To "Go" Date..............


Got up this morning expecting that caching was about done and last night and again this morning new caches showed up. Naturally they were pretty close so away we went. At the first one we met the same group we had been caching with the previous day. Grabbed the first one and had to do a little climbing to reach the second one. Done for the day. We had some money left in our casino fund so went down to the Paradise to see if I had accumulated enough points for some kind of a comp. I was a little short, on Monday Becky received $10.00. I had previously cashed in my points, last year so need some more. We took our remaining kitty and played some slots for a considerable time............but as always, we finally got whupped. Back home, loaded up the Rhino and need a little more work stowing stuff away inside the M/H. Won't have much to do before we leave on Sunday and since we're only traveling 150 miles we're in good shape to go. Just need to pack up satellite dishes and softwater system on Sunday.
Here's a collage of our day. First two pics are of the two caches we found today. The white truck are visitors from Oregon and our friend Buzzcut with one of his friends. About 1800 we drove over to Jeep'en Jumpers for a Buffalo Burger Bar-B-Que. Robert and Char were our hosts and other geocachers were Mr. & Mrs. La84fishn, Larry and Audrey, from Gresham, OR, Bronco Busters, Ed and Linda, who live in Winterhaven, Gideon X, Robert, and uws22, Brian, a high school teacher from Wisconsin. He taught here this year and will returning home to resume new duties in Wisconsin. The burgers and fixins were excellent and we had a super nice time revisiting the winter geocaching season, telling lies and learning about everyones plans for the summer. We'll see Larry and Audrey when we get back to the NW and we'll see Robert and Char at the grand GeoWoodstock Event in May. This event will be held about 80 miles from Corning and since it's a "Mega" geocaching event we just gotta go! We'll probably also meet up again with other Arizona cachers who we've become acquainted with.
Tomorrow we'll go out to see Frank and Sue and we'll have another Bar-B-Que. This afternoon our next door neighbors invited us over for a campfire, smores and conversation and since we were busy tonight and tomorrow we'll drop by their place on Saturday. Boy, we could really get used to this!!
Gonna call it a day. Later. B&W
