Saturday And Passed Another Milestone.............

(We ran red lights trying to get to the cache but discovered a
group already there. The little kid got the five bucks. I got
lighter in the wallet as I owed two of the cachers $2.00 each,
I offer a two dollar bill for the FTF on my caches and two were
there who haven't collected yet)



today. Slept in to around 0800 and we were trying to figure out if we wanted to try a new place for breakfast. Phone rings and La84fishn is down the road a couple of miles and needs some help in locating one of my caches. We finally got him straightened out and a little later he stops by. Ms. Bigmouth informs him that today is my birthday............that's like telling the ladies at Bingo to keep a secret!





We head for breakfast to give it a try. The gravy was so-so, not bad but not worth turning cartwheels over either. We'll probably give them another try at some later date and try something else on the menu. After that we headed to the wetlands park to capture a cache that came out the other day. Found it and since we were so close to the casino we drove over there to try our luck. Becky won, I lost and combined we were $4.00 ahead. Started up the street to go to the "other" swap meet and got sidetracked by a craft show at the library. We stopped and Becky found some goodies for Xmas presents and away we go again. The swap meet has been cleaned up since last year..........still some junk but not as much. I bought another fake cactus for Judy since her's is well battered and needs replacement. Headed for home after that.





I was flipping channels for football and Becky decided to take a hike around the block(s). After she left a new cache popped up on the computer. Larry apparently had been spreading the word about my birthday and "JJ" quickly stashed a cache and had it published. He named it Happy Birthday Wayne43. He offered to buy me dinner at the restaurant of my choice if I was the First To Find. Of course it was placed over 12 miles away and quite a few cachers live much closer than we do. I also think he was busy making phone calls to cachers. To help ensure I wouldn't get there first he also offered $5.00 for anyone else being the FTF.





Well, by the time I got ready to go looking, Becky still not back from her hike so I drove around the neighborhood and finally found her. By the time we got to the cache there must have been about a dozen people waiting for us to arrive. Needless to say, we were far from being "first". You can check out the geocache at this link:

It was a lot of fun and a little six year old kid got the FTF and along with that a $5.00 bill.





Came home and called it a day. Geocaching has certainly helped us meet a lot of new people in our travels.............people who are a little nutso like us! Life is good.





Here's some pics taken at the BD cache. Later W&B
