Snow? Hail? Wind? Rain? Sun? It's May for Heaven's Sake!

We awoke to a blanket of snow on the cars, houses and yards in Reno. Fortunately, it did not last as the rain washed it away. It did, however, put a crimp in our geocaching plans for the day!

We were supposed to be up in the mountains in our jeep, finding our way down lost roads, across creek beds, and over rocks. Instead, we were picking up some of the “easier” caches in Reno proper and surrounding areas.

During the day we had a smattering of rain and some wind, and some hail! At one point it snowed on us. Actually, it snowed on Larry and Mike who were out finding a cache while Cynthia and I watched from the comfort of the car. I tried to take a picture, but the snow (it was very light at that point) just didn’t show. Too bad I didn’t take one first thing this morning!

Later in the afternoon we were out hiking a trail in between hail storms. It was a nice walk, but we had to hurry. Fortunately, we found it quickly--how long can it take to find a container in a sage bush!

It was a fun day. We found 32 caches and we are getting closer to our goal of 4000 on this trip.
