A Caching We Did Go............


again today before the HOT weather gets here later in the week........like in the 90s!!
We headed for Maricopa and picked up some caches on the way. The first picture was taken a few miles away where we found a VOR........don't remember what that stands for; but, this "beacon" serves as a navigational aide for aircraft. Guess it sends out a signal on an FM frequency.
Made it to Maricopa and found a bit of history. This old Zephyr, vista dome car is believed to be one of the last ones in existance. It was part of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy's Fleet and originally built about 1947. Kinda nice to find some history in our travels. We visited numerous housing areas and it was kinda nice to find a lot of man made lakes and streams. We kinda wondered where all the water was coming from.
I still need 21 more caches for 2K and I think Becky needs seven more. If we find a few tomorrow than maybe the famous OK Corral can be her #2,000.
All for now. B&W
