Triumphal Return to Geocaching

Category: Uncategorized – Bernie Dodge – 3:54 pm

Another lunch out, another stab at geocaching. The post storm skies were brilliant blue and filled with cumulus clouds, so the prospect of falling (2 feet) to our doom into Alvarado Creek seemed less daunting. It took no time at all to return to the former rat box at Cache GC4426, sign the log book and claim our prize: a small plastic emu. We’ll keep that as a trophy, like framing the first dollar taken in at a restaurant. To restore balance to the universe, we left behind a 2 Kroner coin from our trip last year to Copenhagen.



Continuing the saga, we went on to Cache GC6686: Crystal Tower Cache which consisted of a Parmesan Cheese container hidden under a pile of rocks at the top of the hill that we see from our front yard. Yes, this is high adventure… traipsing through fields within view of our weedbeds.

This is a cool thing. It gets us out away from our keyboards but the technology connection keeps it interesting to all of us.

Brits Release UFO Documents: Film at 11

So when I heard that the UK was going to release its X-Files on the Rendlesham sighting from 1980, I got all aflutter. I’d vaguely remembered it as a pretty good case and CNN’s report made it sound like this was finally The Smoking Gun.

Then the cooler part of my mind prevailed and I looked up this and

this and this. Crash go the saucers again.

I want to believe, but not really.
