Pole Dancing, Lizards and Thorns

That's just some of what we experienced today.  I even took a picture of Craig pole dancing.   I cant' decide whether to post it at the beginning of this or at the end.  It was a warm day today, so after a slow morning of coffee and reading, we headed out to do some geocaching.  There were several of them marked on the GPS all in a row and they were labeled "Pole Dancing".  That's just what Craig did.


Here's is one of the many poles that we found caches around the bottom under rocks.  So, do you feel better now that you have seen the picture.  Had you going?  Probably not.

We looked for one geocache out in the desert around a burn pile and never found it.  I wondered if it didn't get burned up when they burned the brush pile???  We left there empty handed after driving and then walking along some paths in the sand.  Craig and I both were startled by lizards darting out when we disturbed their homes.

Just behind Craig in this picture was this huge canal system.  It's very impressive to see how these were constructed through the desert which turned this area into rich farming country.







We found the ground along the canals full of small shells.  Pretty interesting to see these miles away the ocean.  The water in the area is salty and that's not from the Colorado River.


One of the HINTS to a find was that is was on an overlook.  We followed the GPS to the Butterfield golf coarse area and up on a hill that was full of some prickly bushes Craig found the hidden treasure.

The golf coarse looks very nice, but our clubs are in storage.  We bought some Smarties candy today so we can start leaving a pack in the caches we find.  People leave all sorts of treasures and you are free to take them if you replace them with something else.  Not sure if food is an acceptable thing to leave.


We are looking forward to church in the Park tomorrow.  Have a great day of rest tomorrow.
