the couple of days. Here's a few pictures of our activities. At our favorite breakfast hole we found this neat old car..........never figured out just exactly what it was although it had a Pontiac hood ornament (??) The local cacher, "JJ", placed a big electrical box on a fence so we had to visit. I made up a Travel Bug with one of the USS COLUMBIA (SSN-771) coins we received when we visited the submarine in Hawaii. Seemed like a good place to start his travels. Cache owner ses leave travel bugs or "anything" here. I posted a photograph of myself with instructions to leave a pre-addressed, stamped envelope with $2.00 in it and I would send a glossy autographed photo. "JJ" accused me of starting a business in his cache and wanted rent money. We spent one evening emailing back and forth arguing about a rental fee.
Yesterday we drove around to check on the Event caches that we helped place last February. Of the 16 placed I had to archive 7 of them. Roads had been built where they once were placed, put some of them in the desert in old car bodies and found the car bodies gone, etc. etc. Got an email from "JJ" and he said the car bodies were most likely hauled off to Mexico as they could get about $160.00 for the scrap metal. Things were getting really bad in a little town of Sommerton next to the border.........it turns out they were stealing manhole covers for sale in Mexico. Scrap iron business in Mexico must be good. You find strange things in the desert (besides Becky).......here's a basketball goal we found out in the desert. Becky actually made a basket with her rock.
Some more friends made it in the last two days and we stopped at their RV park to say "hello" to them. They are caching nuts also so looks like things will pick up considerably in the near future. Gotta get ready for my Flash Mob Cache to be held on Saturday. More people are signing up so it should be interesting.
Still warm but not as HOT as it was. Things looking good for the winter. W&B
