39 Forever!

The countdown has begun to the dreaded four-oh! I've been an emotional wreck as the day approaches, and now on the eve of my birthday, I just feel worn out. All of my friends are asking me "What do you want to do for your birthday?" I can't even respond. I just don't feel like celebrating another birthday.

I'd rather be climbing a mountain or para-sailing than going out for drinks. I guess the ultimate experience would be to travel somewhere and recapture the lost youth. Well, it won't happen on a Wednesday...maybe this weekend I can risk life and limb in order to feel young again...even if it kills me!

Dude Embarrasses Sweet Yet Again!

Well, after seeing that several cachers were able to locate GC152ZE today, we went back this evening. Both Dude & 2cute4u spotted the cache from 6' away!

We missed this cache last night for one of two reasons...and I'm not telling what those reasons were. Anyway, we signed the log and replaced the cache like we found it.

Thanks for the fun time...last night (singing Kumbaya around the camp fire), and tonight with the quick find and playing "Not It" running around the picnic tables waiting for other cachers to arrive. No cachers did, but Dude (always ready to embarrass himself) yelled out "GOOD LUCK!" to someone in the area...only to find out he was not a cacher, but was on his way to the Porta-Potty! Nice.

Dr. Junior Stumps Us All

Tonight's the night for a FTF attempt. After I finished watching the Seahawks put the "beat down" on the Chargers, I checked my e-mail and noticed that a new cache had just popped up only 1.5 miles away. GC152ZE What makes Oregon Green?

I immediately called Sweet to see if she and 2cute4u (name to be changed in the future) wanted to try for it. Sweet's enthusiasm is always a blessing as she urged me to get things ready. We high-tailed it down to the park and were nervous as we drove up and noticed a familiar geo-mobile parked there! What in the world is DP4C doing in this neck of the woods? She yelled out, "it's over here guys". We joined in the hunt. After searching for about 5-minutes, a red Jeep pulls up. "I bet that's a geocacher!" Dude exclaimed. It sure was...Doylefish came to help us out.

So, there we are. All five of us looking around the park with flashlights for a micro 1-1/2 difficulty rated cache...FOR AN HOUR! No luck. Something is definitely amiss. Update to follow.
