Survived the Weekend And So Far Today............


we haven't done anything except straighten up the motorhome. Becky has been cleaning out the fridge and putting things together for quick snacks later. I've been working on my Geocachers Breakfast and sending out pictures and an attendees list to everyone who was there. We went caching after breakfast yesterday and found 5 of 12 new caches that were published when we were having breakfast. It was funny as Black Berrys starting going off at about 0830. I'm surprised some of the more obsessive FTFers didn't get up and leave. We were supposed to meet up with "JJ" at one of the caches; but, Larry had to take Audrey home and we had to come home to load up the new caches. JJ was off and running and by the time we caught up with him he had already found half of them. Larry, Becky and I grabbed a couple of FTFs before we caught up with JJ and then we hunted down 4 or 5 together. The Bronco Busters placed these caches and they got pretty nasty with the placements. They placed one in the group of Salt Cedar and Pala Verde trees and we spent a long, long time looking for it. You had to slide down a steep, slippery bank and then the underbrush was quite thick. We crawled around in the bushes and I finally climbed out and was ready to declare "uncle". JJ refuses to give up on these and expanded his search some more. We even called the owner and he said it was chained to a tree..............lots of help there! JJ finally found it under the tree at the left of the photo............some 65 feet from where it was supposed to be. Sixty-five feet doesn't seem very far; but, when you're crawling around in the underbrush, 65 feet is a long way away. We're going to have to drive by Bronco Busters house and throw a few rocks at him. They put out some nasty caches in this series and most of them required 4whl drive to even get close. Larry was going out this morning to find the rest of them and we were going with him until I looked at the temperature outside. It had dipped into the 40s last night and I said to heck with it. It's about 1500 right now and it's still FREEZING!!!! I just checked the outside temp. guage and it's reporting a frigid 57.7 degrees.
We're probably going to be home for the rest of the day. You Northerners are probably really happy that you're not freezing like we are. :o)!! Hee, hee.
More when the weather gets better and temps are back in the low 70s.........my kind of weather. W&B
