can't even remember what we've done this week ???? Seems to me that we had a great dinner with Sue and Frank on Tuesday. They have a nice smoker so put on a big old turkey to give it a try..........turned out delicious!! My first sit down meal in months! I think we snuck in a laundry day some time this week.......just can't remember when that domestic stuff occurs. Been working off and on with February Event stuff...........I don't remember how it happened; but, I'm trying to sell the coins we had minted for the Event. Doing so so and hoping we'll have a lot of sales on Event day. Been trying to grab a cache or two when they are published..........these old farts around here have been placing them too fast for us to keep up! Think we're losing ground in that endeavor. We went back to the Bombing Range today with three other vehicles. La84fishn was taking a small group down to the range so we tagged along as there were some caches we wanted to visit. I think we picked up two new ones we hadn't found. Our travels took us about 30 miles in the desert to the Mexican border where we found a humongous fence. It was a heavy duty sucker and built to prevent vehicle traffic from crossing the border. Foot traffic can still get around and under the fence; but, if illegals cross then they still have the 30 miles of desert to cross. Even in the cooler weather I sure wouldn't want to attempt that. Nice scenery on the way to the border and when we got there Larry and I decided that this was an excellent place to put a cache. So we did.
These pictures are when we started out with the group. Cactus and desert along the way. We stopped at a previous cache we had found, a plane crash that occurred some years ago. We visited areas that we hadn't seen before and crossed through the Ciprano Pass. Found the remains of a helicopter crash and generally enjoyed the scenery throughout the area. The wind picked up a bit; but, everyone surely enjoyed the ride.
Enjoy the pics.
When we got home we found out that a new cache had been published by friends of our, Bronco Busters............no the name doesn't have anything to do with horses. The BBs do their off-road caching in a Bronco and are continually breaking their Bronco.......hence the name. They had placed a cache in Yuma titled "IHO Wayne43". The cache pays tribute to my Naval service. A totally unexpected; but, humbling tribute. Thank You Bronco Busters!
Check out this link to see the cache that was published.
