Geocaching was recently featured in my local news.
I'm a bit disappointed that they showed the actual hiding place. but still spiffy nonetheless.

Bill and I went Geocaching today, and went after a nice big one, four small micro caches in parks along the seaway trail, leading to a big cache on Wellesley island. It was a lot of fun, and I realized how much I miss Geocaching.

We had a great day and saw a lot of things we never would have seen other wise.

Along the trail to the final cache we saw a pile of stones and we got it into us to try some rock balancing, inspired by some pictures we saw in a blog he reads.

spooky. )

not the most exciting specimen, but it was really fun and damned good for our first try.

Good day of birthday Geocaching, found two caches, beautiful day to just be outside.

Ok, so other than the Geocaching let down, today was a BEAUTIFUL day!

Warm, sunny, naturey!
Bill too hundreds of pictures while we were out, we even cam almost close enough to touch a couple of deer! Such gorgeous creatures.

Our clothing smells like the outside (cayenne had to give us a through sniff over when we came home,) and it was sooo pretty.
And it's just going to keep getting warmer this week, up to about 60F by Friday! :D:D:D:D

Wednesday we are hoping to go out around town and see if we can find any of the Clayton caches, and to scout out locations for a new one we want to place.
And maybe another outside walkies adventure on Friday!

Oh bliss, oh joy!

So we've been trying to find this cache for a while now, we found all the parts leading up to it, got the coords all good.

Today was our third attempt, our fist was during an event and it was getting late, so we came back before we found it, no prob, second we were a bit rushed too, so we came back today and searched, and searched and searched.

We were really starting to get discouraged, I mean three visits and still no cache!
We decided to recheck our numbers, and the first one we check was wrong! ARGH! How did we write down the wrong number??

Our coordinates have been off enough that we have been searching a good mile away, and on a completely different trail, from the actual cache!!!!!

Owies

Yesterday Bill and I went to a Geocaching event on Wellesley Island.

We had a blast finding the temporary caches, hanging out and talking with cachers from all across the state and Ontario, we went out to hunt one of the permanent caches, And then got some neat booty in the drawing (We got this cool orange tee shirt from the nature center with a turkey vulture on it, bill LOVES turkey vultures.)

We were in a bit of a hurry when we went on the hike for the permanent cache, so I ended up pushing myself too much on the level five terrain (lots of rocky uphill down hill steepness)

We were pooped when we got home, but that was ok, because I hade made dinner in the crock pot and it was waiting for us. Mmmm YUMMY.

But now my calves and quadriceps (not to mention my knees!) are killing me!!
:: whimper ::

But you know the weird thing? I would so do it all over again; we had such a great time!

Oh yeah, and it was a bit chilly yesterday, so I wore the hat I had knit myself from black yarn. It has ear flaps with ties and pom-poms, and cute little kitty ears with pink fuzz.
Ever now and then when we met up with somebody along the trails they give me a strange look, or get these huge smiles. And it took me a minute to realize why. I was kind of making an unintentional glamorbomb! :D

And She Was
Hey!

And she was lying in the grass
And she could hear the highway breathing
And she could see a nearby factory
She's making sure she is not dreaming
See the lights of a neighbor's house
Now she's starting to rise
Take a minute to concentrate
And she opens up her eyes

The world was moving she was right there with it and she was
The world was moving she was floating above it and she was
and she was

And she was drifting through the backyard
And she was taking off her dress
And she was moving very slowly
Rising up above the earth
Moving into the universe
And she's drifting this way and that
Not touching the ground at all
And she's up above the yard

The world was moving she was right there with it and she was
(Hey, hey)
The world was moving she was floating above it and she was

Hey, hey, hey

She was proud about it... no doubt about it
She isn't sure about what she's done
No time to think about what to tell him
No time to think about what she's done
And she was

Hey hey, hey hey, hey!

And she was looking at herself
And things were looking like a movie
She had a pleasant elevation
She's moving out in all directions
Oh, oh oh

Hey hey hey (repeated..)

The world was moving she was right there with it and she was
Hey, woo hoo
The world was moving she was floating above it and she was
Hey, hey

Joining the world of missing persons and she was
Missing enough to feel all right and she was

Ha ha
And she was
(repeated..)
