Time Is Flying............


don't know where the week has gone.........I guess 'cause we've been doing a lot of geocaching. Check out the pictures.......a new area opened up with geocaches this week so we've made several trips out there. Seems like whenever someone finds one they also place some more. This is a new area for us and now I think there are 14 caches in the area. It requires a bit of ridge running and on Thursday and Friday we were out with La84fishn and after finding new caches we decided to explore.

The little "Suzy" handles the loose rocks and inclines OK but Larry Honda is "all wheel" drive so it doesn't do as well as we do. We found a rather steep hill with lots of loose rocks and dirt and Larry's Honda couldn't make it up to the top of the ridge. While he was down below blocking the road a bunch of ATVs rode up so we all had a nice time watching him trying to get out. He was finally able to back out to an area where he could turn around and all the spectators gave him a big hand when he finally got going again. I drove back down the hill and we left the area on the same route we took in. Grabbed another picture of the kibitzers still on the hill as we drove away.
Wednesday we had lunch with Sue and Frank as they were heading to Casa Grande on Thursday. The slot machine gods must have been looking out for me as I left the new casino with $170.00 more than I arrived with.
Yesterday was also clam chowder day so we tried a different restaurant. We had been there before for fish n chips so wanted to try the chowder. The chowder was so so; but, the fish 'n chips are still the best we've found down here.
Today there were new caches in the same area we had been exploring; but, we decided to pass on them for today. Becky wanted to see "Grand Torino" with Clint Eastwood so we headed that way.............we were only an hour and half early 'cause somone misread the start time. Took the time to find a new cache and we managed a FTF. Still had time so stopped at the old casino and I left $14.00 ahead. That was enough to pay for the movie and popcorn.
Left there and Becky wanted to try the Indian Taco at the new casino snack bar. So we go out there after the movie. Taco wasn't what she expected so guess that's crossed off her list now. I found the same machine I played the other day and it graced me with another $80.00. I should probably stay away from the casinos for awhile.
I think we're home to stay for awhile. Weather staying pretty nice as we had another day in the low 80s. More later. W&B
