We are now 1 for 4 on our geocaching excursions. I really, really wanted to get outside yesterday and looking for geochaches gets you to unusual places - it's really cool. So, we followed the directions to a geocache called 'Higher Lurnin'. Hah! That's because it starts in the parking lot of Central Arizona College. Pretty cute. It's up on that hill behind the school somewhere ...



We never did find the cache, but we got some exercise and saw great views.






Jim got a bloodied hand when he fell on a rock, I pulled my leg out of my hip socket when I slipped, and poor Odie kept having run-ins with these really nasty cactus thorns. I think they're called Cholla cactus. Pieces of it break off and are found on the trail. We had to carry him over a particularly nasty spot.




It seems pretty clear ... we're not very good at this. But we still like it and we'll try again! Stay tuned.
