Back To Paradise Point...............


yesterday afternoon. Dropped Rhino and trailer off at Dug's house and came out to get set up for the next 10 days............boy, it was HOT! Got things done that had to be done and then turned on the A/C until evening arrived.


Spent nearly 2 hours trying to get the internet dish set up. No trees in the way, would get connected for a few minutes and then lose the signal.........probably my problem at Sand Lake was not the tree as I had the same problem here. Finally got hooked up long enough to force the ranging and then the signal cleared up and no more problems. Still gotta live with this crap until early next year and then maybe I can tell Hughes to stuff it.


Wasn't nearly as hot today as yesterday; but, the weekend forecast is calling for high 90s or maybe into triple digits. I thought we left Corning to get away from the heat!


Ran a few errands today and even made a few stops to pick up some geocaches. I got my NUVI set up to sound an alert when we drive within 500 feet of a cache and we keep "beeping" every time we drive in to Doug and Tami's house. Found some of them so will be able to get rid of the beeps.
Collage pics were taken over the last few days. A deer came ambling though our campsite on Monday morning when we were getting ready to leave Sand Lake. We were looking for a cache on the hillside overlooking the casino and our parking spot. Never found that cache. Went down to the beach and found a cache on the rocks and a few more around town before we called it a day.

Only found 4 caches today; but, the fire hydrant was the neatest container that we found. Coordinates took us to the front of a fire station and the only thing there was this fire hydrant. I looked at it and could see that the cap probably had been unscrewed many times. Inside was the cache which was a tribute to a former fireman and a cacher. Nice tribute to the fireman.

That about brings us up to date. Don't know what we'll be doing the next couple of days. W&B
