No need to drive all over the place if you do not want to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2qx5hNH\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54172903333_9f2c20c248_c.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In November I ventured up to the suburb of Collinsville for geocaching meet up. The host had a bunch of caches for us to find. I got stuck on this sculpture. Nothing to do with geocaching I tried all sorts of different angles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2qx3The\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54172629081_520b9440f1_c.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"370\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So we found nine different geocaches of several different types at the park. It only took about an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2qx7vVS\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54173337704_b0655b6db8.jpg\" alt=\"Geocaching Meetup\" width=\"500\" height=\"374\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A group pic that I stole of facebook. That&#8217;s me with the black hat off to the right. Note the lady holding her &#8220;geodog&#8221; off to the right. Everything is geo with geocachers, geodogs, geocars, geowifes, geotents. Also nobody calls anybody else  by their real name, it&#8217;s always their geocaching handle. So I&#8217;m yogiabb. The two other guys and the other lady have each found over 20,000 geocaches. I&#8217;ve been at it for twenty years and only have about 2300 or so. Amazing. The lady to the left of me said she only slowed down finding them once after getting bit on the hand by a copperhead. I&#8217;ve never been snakebit but I have been bitten by wasps, bees, hornets, chiggers, fire ants and ticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2qxP5a9\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54181250602_348fa1e2f4.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"500\" height=\"415\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And this is another online jigsaw puzzle I finished on my ipad. A rustic western scene with a little bit of sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that is a wrap for this week.
