Not much to report on this year since Hawaii…went out for the first time in ages…Sharon, Sailor the Corgi and I hit a short trail and picked up a few caches. The weather is great, and we shall continue the adventures. We’re not dead yet!

We’re not dead yet! Came here for a week, staying in a house right on the ocean in the little community of Puako. This is as close to paradise as we’ll get. Found our first one right by a phone booth which is an oddity all it’s own. Will hunt for more as the week progresses.

While we’re not geocaching much these days, we still do it, especially when we travel outside Arizona…July is upon us, and the Valley of the Sun temperatures are in triple digits, so it’s not much fun to go out. We will return.

After 13 years, geocaching has lost some of its luster, except when traveling to distant places. I’m not as obsessed as I was way back when. Now with the ChiCom virus keeping everything shut down, I’ve been trying to get out a bit, and find a few. Today we grabbed three, and will go out every day to seek a few more. Hang in there folks.

Gillian, the boys and I drove up here yesterday to make a business call for her company, and get out of the desert heat. Found a handful of caches in the area, and had a burger hunt at a local eatery, The Copper Pit…good burgers, ate outside, nice breeze…life is good

The heat wasn’t too bad this morning so we took a short hike out into the desert near the Western boundary of the McDowell Regional Park, and grabbed a cache up on a hill. The 360 degree view was spectacular. Saw a red tailed hawk soaring close to the ground looking for brunch. Magnificent bird.

Went back out to Fountain Hills, and grabbed a few more. It was too hot for Fergie, but we hate to leave her home. There are some along a trail, so maybe early tomorrow we’ll go out again and see what we can find

Went out to Fountain Hills, grabbed a few, and then called it quits…way too hot

Summer has arrived before its official start. Decided to grab a few near the house and was successful in all regards. I miss being in BC!

OK – I’ve started up again in AZ despite the heat. Grabbed a few near my house after taking Fergie to the park. Fortunately, despite being in the 90s, the cloud cover made it bearable.
