day about ten in the morning with no plans. A geocache popped up a few miles north of us rated at a three for terrain. Normally, I would say to heck with it as it usually entails a climb out in the mountains or desert. Thought again and figured we should go and try to beat "JJ" to it. First we ran into a humongous train with about 376 cars in it...........JJ would take the route on the other side of the tracks and wouldn't have a delay. We finally find a rough road leading toward the cache but could only drive to within .32 miles. We can across a large ditch that the little Suzuki was scared to jump.........so we walked, up a hill, down a hill, up another hill and down the other side. The .32 miles turned into a lot more distance than I wanted to walk (GSPr measures in a straight line and doesn't account for the terrain). We beat the bushes and I got bloodied up in the process..........eventually we found the cache located about 18 feet up the side of of a rock. I managed to climb up there and back down but at least we were rewarded with another FTF.
We were hot, dusty and sweaty so headed home for a shower and later drove down to the swap meet..........it hasn't really started yet and many of the booths were still closed. Then we headed to the Greek Restaurant for Friday's clam chowder. It wasn't too bad.
Back home for the night. I couldn't believe it...........this is an area with just old folks; but, we actually had one Trick or Treater. We scrambled around and dug up a handful of candy for the kid. End of day...........neither witches or goblins got us. Big events tomorrow. W&B
