We relaxed today. The “boys” got to sleep in while the “girls” rushed out to get a First To Find Cache. We pulled up and spotted two suspicious looking characters. They turned out to be AppleJohn (from the Tahoe area) and Randallh from Reno. AppleJohn had already signed the log and returned the cache to its hiding place. The rest of us finally got around to finding the cache after we chatted for a while. We always enjoy meeting fellow geocachers in our travels.
The “boys” were up and around when we returned. Once we were organized , we headed down to Carson City to see what we could find. 
Fortunately, we never know what we will find. In this case, we found the Carson City Sheriff’s Department Motorcycle driving competition. They had taken over one of the local parks and mapped out a course for the cyclists to follow. The participants were from all over--even Rancho Cordova and Sacramento. We were in the park to complete a multi-cache challenge. We completed our challenge and several of the officers had completed their course challenge by then. We don’t know the results, but we saw a great display of some pretty sharp motorcycle driving skills.
Our jeeps were at home and we were traveling in Geo-Jeeper’s Sequoia. We did have to try a dirt road and actually made it fairly close to a cache before we had to stop and walk the last 200+ feet. After that we drove up the Kingsbury Grade for a guard rail cache near the 6000 ft. elevation.
We had some beautiful views of the valley below, the mountains behind and the storm clouds forming over the mountains. Based on the cloud formations, we were expecting a thunderstorm later in the day .
We ended our day back up in Reno at Rancho San Rafael Park. We parked near the dog park and watched some of the dogs romping. The actual cache was up a walking path just outside the dog park. I think we were glad as it might have been difficult to explain why we were there without a dog. As it was, no one paid any attention to us. Then it was back to Cynthia & Mike’s house. The clouds were looking nastier but we didn’t care as we would be safe and sound watching the lightening and listening to the thunder from inside the house.
