Goodbye 2008!!!


We were going to take it "easy" today and I was sitting at the computer when notifications start coming in......some idiots had placed 16 new caches! I started downloading them when the phone rang......JJ on the line wanting to know if we were going to go get them. Larry was on the way over to our place and I called him and he said "why not?". Bad answer as we were both still hurting from our last escapade! Anyway, JJ was ahead of us and we finally caught up with him. Bad start, the "B" Team were in front of us. We changed directions and started at the end.........at least it paid off in the form of three FTFs for us. Another couple got 3 FTFs, a Canuck nailed 1 and the "B" Team, as far as I can tell, got 9 of them. One remains yet to be found.
Larry wasn't quite with it today, as you can see him scratching his head with a glazed look in his eye. He even tried to use two GPSrs at the same time and that still didn't help much. Becky got one of our FTFs and JJ got two. Here's a picture of the mighty Gila River........you seldom see water in it. We got ripped up in thorns and bushes........finally ran into the "B" Team as they were heading East and we were going West. Got home and Larry helped me submit a new cache that I was going to place.......that was the plan when he was driving over to our place. He provided technical advice on how to write some stuff in html and add a picture. Anyway, we got that done and the last picture is me on the Bombing Range placing my cache near a big old Saguaro. This Big Boy is probably about 120 or more years old. I felt about that old by the time the day ended.
A few more hours to midnight; but, don't think we're going to make it. Advice to all.........don't ever get old! Here's wishing everyone all the best for the New Year! Becky and Wayne
