I went a on a little geocaching jaunt Saturday at Keystone Lake.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"IMG_8516\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I went to fetch a geocoin<\/a> for a geocaching friend of mine and to get two other caches as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"IMG_8518\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I headed off on the trail and then had to get off the trail to the cache where the geocoin was. Not there!! Dang. Common malady among so called trackables.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"IMG_8519\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At the next cache I ran into fellow geocacher and trail runner “Speedy.” He’s kind of slow but steady and not too trusting. Speedy and I are always battling it out at the local trail races to see who is going to be next to last. I can almost catch him during the races but right at the end he puts on the afterburners and leaves me in the dust. I’ve been working on my kick and getting better but he still finishes ahead of me. One of these days I’m going to beat him. Jut look at him. I’m going to wipe that smirk of his face one of these days.<\/span><\/p>\n

He needs to be careful or I’ll send him to south Louisana. Years ago I built a natural gas processing plant in the swamps near Lake Charles, Louisiana. The Cajuns who worked at the plant cooked and ate everything that slithered, scurried, or crawled across the plant site. They’d know just what to do with Speedy.<\/span><\/p>\n

I went after another cache that was described as a “bit technical” by an earlier finder. That is a polite way of saying “older fat guys might think about staying away from this.” I went ahead anyway. Good judgement is not something I’m known for, especially at home. I got out relatively unscathed, relatively. No witnesses at least, so I’m not telling.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"IMG_8521\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyway, it was International Geocaching Day and by finding a cache I got this badge<\/span>.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

And the badge is fine and good and all that but I go geocaching for the walk in the woods<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_8523\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Its kind of why they call fishing, “fishing” instead of “catching.” It’s all about getting your head on straight.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_8525\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So, all is well with my (Kia) Soul.<\/span> <\/p>\n
