Geocaching in February

Well we have had an internet problem but we fixed it, we put that absolutely useless Telus aircard in the drawer and bought a Verizon Hot Spot, it works so much faster and allows 5 GB a month, I think I will be happy.

So yesterday we went back geocaching and I wanted to show you how much effort the people who have placed some the caches go to, they can be so much fun.

One series is put out by Mr. Peanuts and he has done a lot of work.

The one below was called Mr. Peanuts Jackpot and when we found the spot we found this little handmade slot machine with the log hidden inside.

The next needs no explaination, called the Yuma Jail, we found puzzles, decoys, chirps, so much fun out here in the desert.



Yes there was one in this lovely saguaro, but what a scene

Look a whole family of saguaros

Now if you look really close you will see the cache, it was called Chest 6 in a little series of 10 chests set in about a two mile stretch. I will give you a hint it was bright red and still took us a few minutes to find it.

Here is where a helicopter had crashed many years before but some of the carnage still remains, Clyde found the cache.

Now this is not a cache and before we got to go on the range we had to sign a form saying we would not touch military devices found out there.

Clyde and Jane had a special day today as they have found their 2000th cache, we have found 275, we have a ways to go.

Ron found a good one, it was called the Ark and yes he found it stuck on a rocky hillside like where the ark was supposed to have landed, quite funny.

Looking out over the desert, it was such a good day, we are certainly enjoying the area.

So after a very good day we went back to our favorite little pub in Welton, where we had a great supper and live music with a bunch of local snowbirds having a fun evening, perfect way to end the day.
