It's been a while since I posted any geocaching adventures. Unfortunately, I still don't have any exciting adventures but I can tell you about our day spent geocaching in Elk Grove. Ann (Imawahl) and another caching friend, Don (Dstoye), went with us.
We left early this AM and returned home around 6:30 PM. We were a little shy of a 12 hour day, but we managed to find 44 caches. We covered the area of Elk Grove between the two major highways, I-5 and 99. We had moments of peace and quiet and moments of lots of activity. We enjoyed the peace and quiet in the parks we had all to ourselves. The rest of the world was staying indoors and out of the heat. We, on the other hand, were braving the heat and wandering around in the empty parks. The lots of activity occurred when we were finding caches in the shopping centers. We were almost run over by the people rushing from their cars to get into the air conditioned buildings. We were the ones sitting on the benches in the heat waiting for the mad rush of people to disappear into the buildings so we could quickly grab the cache that was hidden under the bench.
The four of us did enjoy a little time out of the heat. We managed to stake out a table at the BJ Brewery in Elk Grove and shared lunch and a pitcher of beer. We needed an afternoon nap after lunch, but we had to forgo the experience as we had lots more caches to find.
We finished in Elk Grove and started for home. But wait! There were two more caches in the Franklin-Hood area. We couldn't go home before finding them. OK, so they were 4 miles south (the wrong direction), but what's 4 miles when you are geocaching! Off we went, picked up the two caches and finally headed for home.
We were almost there when Don suggested we go get the new cache about 1 mile from our house. There was no way we could refuse! We signed the log and headed for home. The day was over, but we still had to post all our finds, take a shower, relax, and prepare for the next day. Who knows where we will be tomorrow but we will be geocaching!
