These nutso people down here are placing new caches faster then we can find them and it looks like we'll have to get down here earlier or spend the rest of the winter playing catch up. Twelve new caches were published so I contacted La84fishn and away we went to the Bombing Range. Becky and I finally managed to grab a couple that Larry and I placed last March before we left. We need to sign the log when a cache is placed if we're along with the cache owner. Not exactly kosher I don't believe; but, it would save us bone-jarring trips over rocky and rough roads just to sign the log. I believe the bombing range "roads" are getting worse for the wear. We met some cachers we knew at a little series of caches placed by a guy who really puts a lot of work into his caches. Everyone has a neat little hand-crafted container......they are easy to find; but, most of them require a bit of walking over rocks and through washes. Here's a couple of them.........leave a note and another one of his "Peanut" series. He must eat a lot of peanuts as the caches are placed in a Planters Peanut container, with his hand crafted container.

Our first stop of the day was a cache placed in memory of a fellow cacher who passed away in October........"Buddy V", a cacher from Oregon. It was placed by his sister and brother-in-law, Billybe and Berta. We later caught up with them in our quest for new caches. We also ran across Skibum01......a cacher who has the FTF Fever bad. He was out before sun up yesterday and grabbed a numbe of FTFs.........also ones that took him about 25 miles down onto the range. Some new came out last night even further down the range and I'm sure he was up before daylight again hunting them down. He's holding a breakfast get together at his house on Saturday morning. We're going to the breakfast and it's almost guaranteed that someone will place some caches to be published in the middle of breakfast. A couple of Blackberrys and phones will sound the alarm and the race for the FTF will be on. New cache placements will really break up a party FAST!
Don't think we'll be doing much today as my old knees are still trying to recover the from hiking we did yesterday. Even Becky's butt was dragging after we found 20 caches on the range yesterday.........and she "claims" to be quite young you know! We may go out and find Larry's three new caches...........they're only about 5 miles away and his usually don't require rock climbing or long hikes.
Got an appointment with Rheumatologist tomorrow so maybe some knee injections will keep me going for awhile.
Later if anything interesting happens. W&B
