Great Day For Geocaching

We didn't have anything specific planned for the day so I suggested we go geocaching in the area.  Over 200 geocaches have been placed during the past year and we thought we'd pick up some of them.

The green boxes on the map below are geocaches that we haven't found and the smiley faces are ones we have found.  I captured a picture of the caches before and after we went looking for them.

Before picture
 We went out after lunch for a couple hours and found 16 caches in short order.  I thought there wouldn't be much traffic along the road but I was wrong.  It was quite busy and parking was tight, but we made it.

After picture
 As you can tell, it doesn't take much to entertain us and we had a great time in the lovely 70 degree weather here in Tucson.

Gerry was successful in finding this cache after looking for a while.  It was windy and she was trying to keep her hair looking great but the wind was playing havoc with it.

 

By the time we were finished playing it was time to head to Rancho Rustico for dinner.  We arrived early and were seated quickly.  Since it was Monday, I didn't think they would be that busy.  Wrong again, the place filled up very quickly and there weren't many tables free when we left.  As usual we had a great meal and the waitress did a great job.  They do serve large portions and the 22 oz Dos XX settled in fine.  Then it was time to head back to the motorhome and relax and let the food settle in. 

Gerry spent 30 minutes picking thorns out of her shoes and then we watched "The Butterfly Effect" movie that was quite strange to say the least.  Gerry is still thinking about whether she liked the movie.  I didn't care for it at all.  Not my cup of tea.


College student Evan Treborn (Ashton Kutcher) is afflicted with headaches so painful that he frequently blacks out. While unconscious, Evan is able to travel back in time to difficult moments in his childhood. He can also alter the past for friends, like Kayleigh (Amy Smart), who was molested by her father (Eric Stoltz). But changing the past can drastically alter the present, and Evan finds himself in nightmarish alternate realities, including one where he's locked away in prison.

That was our day, how was yours?

  1. We still haven't done any geocaching. Maybe next winter.

  2. Nice haul on the geocaches. Every restaurant around here definitely gets full by 5. We're headed to Lake Havasu for bluegrass this weekend. Hope our weather stays nice. Rain tonight.

  3. Never found a geocache. I think it would be fun but haven't been around anyone to show me the ropes. Probably walked by a ton of them in my time.

  4. Stop in Tucson on your way home & I will show you the ropes. It's not difficult & is a great time waster. We are near the Pima County Fairgrounds just off of I-10, exit 275. $25/night at Fairgrounds for full hookup.

  5. Larry is good at showing the ropes on geocaching! He's shown us a couple of times, but we still haven't done any. We've found a couple by accident though. ;) Btw...that was a lot for one day, Larry!
