Gerry and I have been laying low these past couple days trying to recover from all the activity the past week. The old bodies can only take so much before signs of wear begin to appear.
The weather has been fantastic lately with high temps during the day and cool nights. Perfect sleeping weather and that has been our favorite activity since we returned.
On our trip to Las Vegas we ran into a couple geocaching their way from Florida to Nevada. There is a group of caches (1700) in a 80 mile stretch of road north of Las Vegas called the E.T for Extra Terrestial. For those cachers looking to build up their finds it is great and it takes two days to find all the caches. Two busy days. Then there are 800 caches on a stretch of highway from Barstow to Needles, CA. It takes a day to complete this set of caches if you really work at it. The two are sort of meccas for those seeking total number of caches, but they tend to get boring and too much like work for me. Maybe that is why I have less than 1100 caches to my credit, but many of those were very interesting and entertaining.
Ron K came by the last couple days and we worked on his computer and mapping out directions for a trip he is planning this spring. He bought the 2011 MS Streets & Trips mapping program and installed it on his computer. The are a set of map overlays that have 220 Points of Interests (POI) from state parks, Walmarts, FlyingJ, Loves, Pilot gas station and a ton of other interesting places. The lastest POIs are from 2011 and we had to download them and install them on his PC. He is up and running now and shouldn't get lost or run out of fuel.

I have been getting more and more spam from bloggers since I let anyone respond to the blog. One way to stop the spam is to cut off anonymous comments. It is very easy and painless to get a Gmail email account and use it to post on blogs. You don't have to actually use the account, but it gives you a portal into my blog.

Just picked up your comment. Thanks for visiting my blog. Certainly looks like you folks are "our kind of people". About the geocache trail in Nevada... do you think you'll do it someday? I'm thinking it would pretty boring unless I was with a group. I read where one couple logged over 1,000 caches in a 24 hour period... by themselves, not as a team. Makes my knees hurt just to think about it. I see that there are 166 active caches here in Costa Rica... one is less than a mile from this hotel. You better believe I'm gonna try to get THAT one! We're kind of the odd RVers.... seasons don't mean a thing to us... we're always travelling somewhere... no grass to mow anywhere ;-)
