Having a teenager in the house I knew hot to act. So off I went last Saturday. I dropped the kid off at his Improv class and sped to the nearest Dollar General Store and got me some new containers and notebooks. I got several because, well, you know, well it turns out that several of my caches were gone missing. But hey, I&#8217;ve been busy.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jNvMCk6lB4k?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I took along my new SJCAM SJ4000. It is a Go Pro clone for cheapskates like me. The video is pretty darn boring but it\u00a0gives you and idea of the trails on Turkey Mountain.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j3blLIU_H74?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And this video shows me getting closer to Rock City.

Anyway the above shows you the route.<\/p>\n<p>After I left Turkey Mountain I motored downtown, checked on one cache, replaced another, and then went over close to Saint Francis Hospital, replaced one near there (not on hospital property), and then over to a big freeway exchange in south Tulsa where I had yet another one that had gone missing.<\/p>\n<p>And I still picked the kid up on time.<\/p>\n<p>A busy fun time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My friend Trail Zombie told me the other day that he thought my Rock City geocache on Turkey Mountain had gone missing.
