Finally Made It Through Sunday..........

after another 5 or 6 hours in the hills, rocks and desert about 19 miles East of us. A bunch of new caches were published so we called Larry and off we go to find them. Again, we were a couple of hours behind another friend who likes to get up at the crack of dawn. Back to the hills we go and stop at the top of one of the ridges. Becky finds a cache down in the wash and on top Larry takes pictures laying down. I guess he was holding his camera on a rock. The Beavertail Cactus are blooming all over the place and believe Becky shot up a roll of film on them.

Here's almost a 360 degree view of the area from the top of the ridge. I even took a few pictures........really a neat area and you'd be surprised from the stillness............not much of a breeze was blowing and it was extremely quiet. You'd have to be there to believe the silence.

Yesterday Becky found her #1,900th cache and this was it in someone's front yard.

Other pictures are from our little excursion today. After we found nine caches we had to explore another ridge and plant some of our own. Drove out to the end of another ridge, scraping bottom of Suzy on rocks; but, guess we didn't punch any holes in the oil pan 'cause we made it back. We ended up placing 4 more caches until we reached the end of this little ridge and couldn't go any further. Turned around and back outta there we go.

Hope this is the last time we see this area for some time. Seems like everyone who visits up there has a to plant a cache or two and right now there are 23 of them that can be found with a 14 mile drive. Checked the tracking on my GPSr when we got home and found that we had averaged 3 mph for this 14 mile drive. Of we stopped quite often to find caches and take pictures.

Got home about 1430 and here we stayed for the rest of the day. Gotta get started storing things away and get ready to head toward Casa Grande. Get a little bit done every day so all we'll have to do is pack up the satellitte dish and leave on the 14th or 15th.

That was our day for today...........temperature in low 80s, sunny, slight breeze..........not too bad a day and just think...........spring will be here in a few weeks!

Later. B&W
