I guess we've been busy, too busy to update blog...........well, that could be a big lie too. Or else we've been just too lazy to do anything this week. I did get the oil changed on the Suzuki, we got laundry done and ????
Oh yeah, we were sitting home on Monday night and a new geocache pops up. It was placed by Moose Mob, who is also the Geocaching Reviewer for Arizona. He was in town for a few days working. Monday night he places a cache at his hotel and he and JJ wait to see who shows up. About 10 of us did. Had a nice visit and we called it a day. "B" and I have met Moose Mob on two other occasions, in Bull Head City last year and at the Geo Woodstock Event this year; but, other Yuma people hadn't met him. It's kinda nice to be able to place a face with a name you know over the internet so he was well received by the locals.
Tuesday night JJ put out the word that he would be taking Moose Mob to Lutes Casino, the Place Where The Elite Meet. That happens to be their trademark saying. Again about 10 of us showed up. "B" and I left early Tuesday evening as three of us were going with JJ to Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base north of San Diego to pick up about 300 ammo cans. Ammo cans make great containers for hiding geocaches, they're waterproof, animal proof and almost indestructable..........not to mention of a size that's easy to locate.
JJ, Ed, Larry and myself planned on leaving Yuma at 0700 to make the trip. Good Old Moose Mob went back to his hotel room after caching with JJ and published nine new caches sometime after 2200. I know he was kicked back in his room enjoying himself as he knew that some of the Yuma crazies would be heading out to find the caches in the middle of the night. JJ swears he'll "never" go after another one after 2000. Ha, he went out and found three of them. Someone else found three so Wednesday morning the four of us piled into JJ's truck, pulling a 17 foot trailer and had to stop to try and find the 3 unfound caches. We found two of them and Buzzcut made the other FTF. He headed toward San Diego about 0830 instead of 0700.
We cached along the way, arrived in Pendleton after the warehouse man had left for lunch so there we sat until he returned. Got a pallet and a half loaded up and headed back to Yuma, still caching along the way. Found a few and couldn't find others. Stopped at the Golden Acorn Casino for a lobster and steak dinner. Getting late so I dropped a twenty into the slot machine and 5 minutes later cashed in $68.00. That was a good stop as my dinner only cost $20.
Got to Yuma late...........Moose Mob stopped by so JJ gave him a bunch of ammo cans. We left and shortly after we got home Moose Mob published another cache that he had placed about 4 miles from JJ house. The message he left for Yuma was "Bwah hah hah hah hah!" This one JJ passed on, as did we. 0530 to 2230 was long enough a day for me.
Today was a kick back day, went downtown briefly, picked up some goodies at the Commissary and came home. Sitting outside chewing on a burger and a big motor home rolls up and pulls onto the lot. We figured we'd have company. No such luck, they were just staying overnight and then moving to the landlord's other lot tomorrow.
I'm setting up a breakfast for geocachers on Sunday morning so "B" and I will be going back to the restaurant tomorrow morning and giving them expected numbers for breakfast. I think we'll have about 20 people showing up. Could be a monthly event if enough interest is shown. No problem with the women showing up for breakfast.............I don't think any of them cook anymore! The men gotta take them out just so we can survive.
Later. W&B
