About a week ago on Sunday afternoon I dropped SuperPizzaBoy off at his confirmation class at his church. Usually I stick around in the lobby as a kind of security blanket but he does great without me so I sneaked off to go find a nearby geocache named Jungle Love. In the summer it would be hard to find with all the high grass and brush but it kind of stuck out in the dead of winter.<\/p>\n

The kid never knew I was gone!! Its all for the best.<\/p>\n

Nope, this isn’t Moab. <\/p>\n

Later in the week Turkey Mountain Wilderness Park showed a new cache on their Facebook post. It was called “Cache May Bite.” It was about lunchtime so I drove to the park.<\/p>\n

Thread the needle, go down the trail a ways and this is what you find.<\/p>\n

Again, I was back before anybody missed me. Doesn’t anybody miss me?<\/p>\n

Third guilty pleasure: SPB participates in a Improv Comedy workshop at one of our local parks. He loves it. He doesn’t need a drama workshop, shoot, he could teach drama, he is good at comedy but he has drama down pat. Sorry, I digress. I usually take my Kindle with me and read while he is doing his Improv thing. I mean I like watching him and the other kids but how much “Zip, Zap, Zup” can a guy take? Even if it is his son. Well you guessed it, somebody planted a geocache in the park. So I left the kid with his comedy and Sweetie with her knitting.<\/p>\n

And off I went. I could show you where I found the cache but it would be a dead giveaway. It is close to this though.<\/p>\n

A cover over a swimming pool. Kind of a Mid Century Modern thing maybe? There are people in town who just swoon and need smelling salts when they hear about Mid Century Modern. Its the new old, run down, and ugly is beautiful concept. All those smelling salts does something to their sense of humor also, either that or they didn’t have a sense of humor to begin with. Oops, you can tell I’m off my meds this morning. Sorry.<\/p>\n

This cache required some water. Why? I am not going to tell you except that if you have done this type of cache before you know exactly why and what kind of cache this is. Trust me, if you go looking for this bring some water.<\/p>\n

Here is the cache.<\/p>\n

As you can see, I brought some water. <\/p>\n

Again, I was back in my seat with my Kindle before anybody missed me. That’s the kind of life a geocacher leads when he is the only one in the family that likes geocaching.<\/p>\n
