Thursday And Of Course Some..........

caches were published this morning. In our area; but, a quick check of the map told me we couldn't get there first. Of course, it wasn't helping that Becky was yapping on the phone and it took us an additional 23 minutes before we could leave to hunt them down. As a result we managed to get to them as "also rans". Oh well, FTF is just a number and with it and $2.25 you can buy a cup of coffee........or maybe a glass of ice tea.

The first two pictures were taken the other day when we were looking for a FTF and were beat to the cache by Lime Green and Hummer 2 (Leon and Bobbi). Today we were whupped by Sly B. Bro and Rosefaery riding in style in Pegasus. Now, that probably doesn't make much sense to any non-cacher; but, for us idiots who do this in the name of fun, it does.

A nice little cache was planted by one of the wives and it's her "Rock Garden". They're full-timers so don't stick in one place long enough to have a real garden so guess this will do. This morning we found one hanging in a tree, 4th pic, can you see it? From there to the desert to see if we could capture #1,700 for Becky. Found this old container in the desert and coordinates took us right to it........I didn't feel much like reaching in and feeling around so Becky took a picture through an opening. It didn't reveal much. Fortunately the cache was stuck into the sand near the opening so we managed a find without disturbing any critters that may have been lurking in the container. We met a few other cachers on the trail and there were three vehicles up ahead when we pulled up. We had met two of them before, at least I guess we did 'cause one of the guys said "Hi Wayne" when I got out of the car, I recognize faces but can't place names with them. They were taking a little time out and having lunch. This turned out to be Becky's #1,700 so we all watched her hunt for it. Pressure was on but she found it quickly and posed for photos. We shot the breeze and then moved on in our separate directions.

Action over for the day and I think we found 15 caches. I still need 9 or 10 more to reach 1,700. Later. W&B
