I&#8217;ll probably get tired of finding the same ones over and over. I&#8217;ll have to hide some of my own. The owners of this cache say it is on property once owned by an uncle of John Denver. Now how would they know that? Did little John run and play here as a kid while visiting his uncle? I&#8217;m digressing, sorry.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/3992812140\/\" title=\"Geocache by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Geocache\" height=\"375\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/3992812140_effafb0a86-300x225.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The landscaping is unique in my new office. You&#8217;ve heard of the bluestem grass in Oklahoma as tall as a man on horseback. Check this out, I wasn&#8217;t doing the old crouching down thing. I was standing up straight. Can your plant service match that? Low maintenance also!<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/3992053375\/\" title=\"Blue Stem Grass at Oxley by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Blue Stem Grass at Oxley\" height=\"375\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/3992053375_69e62db55e-300x225.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So what do you think? Want to come join me? Visitors always welcome. Its only 15 minutes from my regular cubicle. We can have lunch! Bring it though, its a long walk to the nearest deli. You want your own cubicle. There is another space nearby. We can at least wave to each other.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/3992810394\/\" title=\"Neighboring tree by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Neighboring tree\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/3992810394_d3085bcc5c-225x300.jpg\" width=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ooops, Sorry, thanks for reminding me.
