Spent lazy weekend.......Saturday we took in an action packed movie.....funny, I can't seem to remember the name or even what it was about. Stopped at the casino for a little while after movie and I won $32.00 (I think Becky lost about what I won so it was a wash). Stopped at the grocery store and called it a day. Wind picked up Saturday night and it was blowing like crazy on Sunday. I stayed home and "B" headed for the Mall......she was having withdrawals and just HAD TO GO. She bought me a new pillow for the couch. I cleaned up some of the cubby holes in the M/H and that took care of Sunday. The guy who placed a cache without a logbook finally got it fixed and published again. Called Don and Buzzcut and we drove back to the Range this morning to find and get the log signed. Another mile hike (round trip to the downed drone). Found log, got it signed and hope this is our last trip to this one. We took Buzzcut to one we had previously found and he made the hike over rocks, through the wash and after a long time he finally found the cache. He's somewhere out there in pics 3 and 4. A Border Patrolman drove up, we had seen his truck earlier, and hiked up to where we were watching for Buzzcut. Had a nice chat with him while waiting for BC. He asked if we had came up the trail and we said yes. It seems we sat off sensors that were monitoring the trail and he had to go check them out. We learned that there were different types of sensors scattered throughout the bombing range. Some magnetic, on the roads, some infared and some that sounded alarms from ground vibrations when people traversed certain areas. He said there were even sensors placed on the mountain tops that were occasionally tripped, when that happened whoever was on duty had to climb up the mountain to check and reset them. These guys pull 12 hour shifts. He waited until Buzzcut returned to the car and then followed us out of the area. He turned North and we headed Southwest for another cache at Cipriano Pass. The road was pretty good in and we found the cache without much trouble. Had to climb aways up over some large rocks but it wasn't too difficult. Becky must have been really intrigued by this one big rock.........she took a ton of pictures of it. Look closely at it and let your imagination run wild.
Came back to town, the car battery was about dead so had it checked out. Bad battery so got a new one and then went to the casino for our Old Folks Money. Got our money placed on our cards; but, the casino was crowded so we left and will go back in a day or so and gamble our moneys away.
End of Monday.......another 3 weeks and we'll be heading for California. W&B
