It was bound to happen!


It has been a while since we have been able to do much in the way of geocaching. Larry's hip has been out of commission for a bit and our activities have been restricted. At the same time, Mike (Geo-Jeeper) has been having problems with his back. Fortunately, Cynthia (Geojeepette) was willing to make the drive from Reno to Roseville so she and I have been able to geocache a couple of times. We managed to find quite a few caches without the help of the guys, but we certainly would be happier if they would recover soon and completely.

Today, Linda joined up with Ann Wahlenmeier (imawahl) and Don Stoye (dStoye) to walk a local bike path. A couple of the caches required a little tree climbing. Normally, Don would be happy to do the tree climbing. Today, I decided to make the leap. I had decided it was time to learn another skill in case Larry & Mike weren't able to fully resume their geocaching responsibilities.

I did it! I climbed a couple of trees, but this was probably the most challenging. And, of course, going up was easy. The getting down was a little more of a challenge but I stuck it out. Watch out Larry and Mike! We may have to draw straws next time! If this goes on much longer, I may even get Cynthia to climb some trees.
