Thursday January 29, 2015.


Get ready because the next few days are mostly about geocaching.  Michele joint me in the search for caches.  This morning we are going back to the Memorial Park to look for the caches I did not find yesterday.

No luck for the first cache, but with the second...
Michele is hot today with the caches.  Can you see the turtles?

Geocaching can be dangerous!  Texas has a lot of thorny bushes.

My pretty Michele!

We have stopped at a yard sale and I bought a mason jar full of small wooden heart and stars.

I am writing our cachers name on each one of them.  We will be leaving them in the caches that are big enough.  Our cacher's name is DM1960. For "Denis, Michele 1960".

A very good day.

Friday January 30, 2015.


Michele is looking for caches with me again.  We make a very good team.  The name for the first cache is "It's not candy cane lane".

Here is the actual cache.  They are not all hard or all easy.

Some of the swag that cachers leave behind in the caches.  Of course, you leave some and you can take some and put them in another cache.

This is the best cache so far for us.

Just look at the video and find out why!


While on our way to another cache, we drove by this small airport and a small plane was landing.  Michele took a photo!  What are the odds to take the photo exactly when a road sign happen to be there?

One of the cache is on this palm tree.  We cannot find it!!!

A very large cache in the middle of nowhere!

This cache has a lot of swags in it!

The next cache is called "Wimbledon???"
No tennis court here!

The cache is a tennis ball cut open with a logbook inside!  Those cachers are very imaginative people!

The next one has a "twist" to it!

In this twisted tree, in a hallow part of it, there is this piece of bark...

The cache is glued to it!

The coastal live oak trees are very beautiful here.

Here is a big one with a cache located near it.


This live oak is believed to be over 1000 years old.


Some more info about the oak tree.

With have no luck with this cache, we could not find it.

Some Whooping Cranes in a field.  They spend the summer up in Wood Buffalo National Park in northern Alberta.

An easy one!

 
We are done with caches for today.  Back home I start cleaning the tracks where the windows slide.

With the accumulation of sand and dust over time, combine with moisture/dampness, you end up with some mould growing in the tracks area.  It is time to wash that stuff away! 

Another busy day looking for caches and cleaning the windows.

Saturday January 31, 2015.


We had to go back and check the Big Tree cache on the internet and find out more information about it to help us find it.

Here it is, looking like an automatic sprinkler, but no!  It is the cache!

They have been forecasting rain and cool weather for the past 4 days and yet, nothing.  Well, today it is happening.

A very "hairy" cache!

I think we were very lucky to find this cache.

I just happen to look down and see this piece of wood with a "cut" on it.

What an ingenuous way to hide a cache.


Another one not that easy to find, but we got it!

Here it is!

 
A small dauphin pushing small fishes up the shore.  He is getting his meal ready!



It does not matter where you go, there is always a cache in a cemetery.

There is a series of caches called "Ducks" and the actual cache is rubber duck with a logbook in it.

A good lunch at Whataburger.

 After lunch, we keep on caching.  Lots of thorns to get to the cache!

For this cache, a lady asked us if we were caching?  Yes, we are, but we cannot find this cache!  She gave us a clue to find it.  It was hard to find because it is the first time we see one like this one!

The cache is actually just a tie-wrap on the post!

A ghost cache!

I think it is a coral snake.  It is very venomous snake.


Geocaching makes us go places we probably would not have gone.  Like this nice little park.


This is just a cute palm tree.


One more in a cemetery.


Cute mural.


Tonight is pizza night at the clubhouse.


After a good meal, time for karaoke.

The karaoke was good, but most of the songs were from another era...  

Until next time...

Life is Good!
