Senior Citizen Cache Trip.

Sunday March 14th

Yes, that’s right, a senior citizen caching trip. The crew Ceejay535,  Garyjune and myself headed out to finish the series of caches that were were working  on a couple of weeks ago.

Our Senior Cachmobile. Now how cool is this?

Here are some of the cache containers that we found.

This one is a duck head first in the sand. Remember these are all metal welded together.

We finished the series and really had a blast doing them. Geocaching gets more fun every day.

See ya all next time. Have fun and stay young. I 'am going to.

Looking a lot like spring here

Saturday March 13th

Another ATV outing was held. I again got to lead the group .This trip was to the top of the Florida Mountains. We all met at an intersection part way down Hwy 11 called Sunshine. From there we headed South to County Rd 016 (Cameno Doese (Spelled wrong but 12 in Spanish)) No it does not make sense.  There were only 4 of us but what the hell, we had a good time. I had been up there a couple of years ago but the so called road had washed out after that. The trip up was slow and sometimes quite hair raising.

The first picture is of the rock building at the bottom of the hill. That’s part of the Florida’s in the background. They are pretty awesome rocks.

We had left the vehicles about a half mile back and rode up to here just so we would have more ride time. After all it’s been awhile since our last ride.

This is one of the mines that we passed on the way up.

I think that this is one of the local miners……………

One of the switch backs on the way. Note the background in this. It’s a long ways down there.

 

This almost up at the top and is a hunters cabin which is sporting a new roof this year. A great place for us to have lunch, which we did.

Is this a view or what?

 

After a nice leisurely lunch and a bit of rest we headed the rest of the way up. Damn! it’s windy up here. We had a slight breeze all the way up but it was warm and felt good. Up here the wind was ripping pretty good and we were forced to put the long sleeve shirts back on. How ever it was very nice. We also passed this mine on the final leg up.

Oh Yeah, here is a Century Tree also.

We had an uneventful trip back down. Here is a link to Stu’s blog which has a few more pictures of the trip.

Geocaching 2010

A day of Geocaching.

Attention Sharon, Yes you  you know who you are.

Tuesday the 2nd at 6:15 as planned June and Gary (AKA Garyjune) showed up at my door step. We promptly loaded out cacheing gear, lunch, walking sticks, etc into my van. Then proceeded to meet Jake and Cindy (AKA Ceejay535) and hit the road. Our route to the first Geocache was around 90 miles away. We settled in and began the usual BS about everything from fixing the world to more reasonable things like caching. Finally coming to the dirt road that led to our first cache we turned off and shortly found our first cache of the day. The cache container was very unique. Take a look. When you lift the turret the whole deck opens up.

Yes, that is the cache container.

I will not be mentioning any names of these caches as they could be “Spoiler Pictures”.

We then headed on down the dirt roads and trails in search of other caches. We had specific caches in mind.

Here is a group picture of another cache.

The container is all welded metal and looks very realistic, including guy wires. actual cache was inside.

Another one

What a day. The entire crew had a blast.

 

We ended up getting 19 Caches for the day and got back into Deming at 6:00 PM,  Then went out and had a Mexican dinner to finish the day. We  were totally pooped.

Went to the Doctor today complaining again about the soreness of the stitches left in my leg. He gave me a local anesthetic and dug them out, Wow, what a difference that made. I was able to put full weight on the leg that day. Things are looking up.
