Camera repair & Geocaching

We took Gerry's old Panasonic Lumix camera in to have it cleaned a week or so ago and today we went in to pick it up.  They did a great job and the spot we had when we took pictures was removed.  Now we have two great Lumix cameras to take pictures and fill up our disk storage.

Since we were in the upper Northwest corner of Tucson and we don't get over that way very often, we decided to do some geocaching.   When I say we, it usually means me and Gerry goes along with it.  Today was a very neat day in that we found 8 geocaches and some great scenic spots.  In particular, there were some great metal sculptures on a fence near one cache.  Check them out below.

 
One geocache was really unusual and the owner had it hidden inside his fence.  I don't like to go on private property since I don't want to trespass, but this one said it was fine to enter his yard.  He had built a travel bug (TB) hotel with a combination lock on the front.  Inside he had a number of TBs and we selected a real neat one to pass along.  We also dropped off a TB that we had picked up in North Carolina a month or so ago.  I imagine the owner was getting worried about it being lost.  

Truly Nolen is a pest control company out here in Tucson and they must have over 800 old cars all restored and sitting around the area.  Their name is always on the cars and you can't miss seeing them.  A cache was placed in this particular car that was right outside the offices of Truly Nolen.

We rewarded ourselves with a trip to Cold Stone Creamery and Gerry used a coupon and her gift card to buy two ice creams.  As usual, they were both great.  Low calories also.  Do you believe that?

Now we will have to go geocaching more often to cut down on the calories we took in today.  See, there is a method to my madness.
