Yesterday!

Yesterday was a fun filled day filled with adventure and extensive exersize. THE RULER allowed me to go geocaching. THE CARROT-So, after a morning filled with getting the garage door to mate with the uneven floor so that light would not escape it was time to go.

SHORT STICK – On the way to Dekalb County Bridges caches we had to stop at Home Depot to check out the prices on Rigid drills and kits. All the guys I talk with are sold on the Rigid Warranty that is available until today – A FULL LIFETIME WARRANTY. It seems pretty good and the drills are nice and the price competitive but how long do I have to get my full measure of LIFETIME WARRANTY? If you are 20 then it might be an excellent deal but if you are 80 it becomes less of an incentive and price becomes more of a motivator. Well, that is where I am coming from. Even though I am not 80, price is the motivator so it was a “no buy” day.

CARROT ACHEIVED – On the geocache scale these two bridges were microcaches and of 3 stars difficulty (out of 5) so they were supposed to be difficult: I found both in approximately 15 minutes. The most difficult was the Spencerville Covered Bridge because of the way that it was hidden (you could not see it if you looked exactly at the spot where it was hidden). On the way back we picked up a bonus cemetary cache right on the western Ohio border NE of St. Joe, IN. So that was three for the day and we had had enough.

Heading up route 101 we stopped at Fish Creek Trail near Hamilton, IN to do our every other day 1 hour walk. The trail was soft and wet and this made walking a bit more difficult. We did not take the extended Lake walk but retraced our steps back to Robb Hidden Canyon parking lot. Feeling quite full of energy we then walked to RHC proper and enjoyed the scenery: if you go to the following coordinates you can see for yourself – N 41
