I got a motorcycle!!!

Picked up this 1996 Suzuki Intruder 800 yesterday. Hoping the 50+mpg will help cut my costs. The geomobile gets 18 mph on a good day with a tailwind. The 85 mile round trip commute is getting costly as gas increases.

I have to come up with a name. Thinking La Burra , a female burro lol.

Jun 24, 2011 NC

We both took a Friday off and drove up to the GA NC mountains.  We visited the Great Smokie Mountain National Forest. We  had a little hike and did  some caches and had a good time.

View at the GSMNP

Thought this erosion was interesting.

Canada Geese enjoying a swim.

Well it has been a while.

Not much happening. We had a great Christmas, then in Jan I found out my store would close. They had no MGR posting open so I took a demotion and pay cut and now work at the
Atlanta Support Center  warehouse.
Kathy was laid off from the Drs office and is working full time temp and still at Macy's part time.

Kathy has visited her
mom who had her 80th birthday. Kathy helped he move to her new smaller house. The 4 bedroom split level was too much.

I just had a caching weekend in Nashville TN. Well it was a 20 hour day . We did 52 caches visited the GPS maze, 3 webcam caches, 6 virtuals, 1 puzzle, 1 multi cache and the rest regular caches. This gave us the qualification to do the Bust Day Challenge cache in Chattanooga.
Eleven of us from GA and Jgooose dove down down from Illinois.

Halloween Weekend.

We had a great time at A Spooky Breakfast With Thorny1 in Pine Mountain, GA.Event After helping cook breakfast then fellowship with others we visited Warm Springs. We stopped by the Little White House where FDR stayed when here in town. We toured the Warm Springs Baths that FDR bought and helped study the healing effect the waters had on people. Then back home for the trick or treaters.

Labour Day Week 2010 Sunday

Well we drove 622 miles today and arrived in Williamsburg, VA.
We did one cache in North Carolina that was all we had time for.
We checked into our digs for the week then had awesome dinner. Tomorrow a few virtual caches and a luncheon and maybe a sundown cruise.

Labour Day Weekend 2010

Ok so it is Labour day it is back to Virgina. This trip we will be going to Williamsburg. We have a week there and will also do a few day trips. we hope to go to D.C. one day to see the Museum of Natural History. Maybe we will run into Ben Stiller!
SO stay tuned .

Memorial Day weekend.

Kathy will be heading to Indiana to visit family and celebrate 2 graduations. Her nephew from High School and his sister from Drake University with a doctorate in Pharmacology.

We had no one to sit the dogs so I was staying home, but then Lauren moved home and I get to leave for the weekend.
So a geocaching run to New Orleans with Jgooose, Thorny 1 and 1/2 of the Jazzmaster Team.
I'll keep you posted.

 We had a great time and saw a wonderful cache and did complete the power run.
We got 190 caches!
Nothing wrong with the number as we had a blast of a time. We also got a FTF in New Orleans. Replaced 6 caches and many log sheets.Only had the police talk to us once ( in Alabama) drove 1240 miles and spent to nights in a inexpensive hotel. Jgooose got to drive a WWII1943 Willis Jeep! I got #4000 Jgooose got #3000, Thorny1 broke 4200 and Fred got two new state and built his lead in cache numbers.
So Fred summed the trip up:
As products of the 60s and 70’s our influences had acronyms. UNCLE, THRUSH, KAOS, and many military terms that affected our lives. This is the story of a band of brothers that through fate and Geocaching had ironically formed a group of merry men to form C.O.M.B. Many of you are members and agents of this organization and don’t even know it. It’s the highest level, and very “Top Secret”. Anytime you have gotten together with others to do a road trip, or just around your local area, you joined C.O.M.B. It’s being the highest level and most intriguing part of life experiences that will make memories for a lifetime. Watergate – well known term for exposing or bringing to light. C.O.M.B. – Cache On Merry Band. Charter members: Ga Cacher, Jgoose, The Jazzmaster, Thorny1.
