Geocaching with the guys

In preparation for our upcoming vacation I downloaded all the pictures off my camera so the SD card would be empty.  I came across pictures from our last trip--remember the one that ended with an appendectomy?

Anyway, this was my weekend in South Dakota hanging out with the guys--my dad, brothers, and Irv.  It also involved some geocaching.  Below are some geocaching shots.  I mostly just watched--they take it very seriously.

Maybe it's under here
 
I think it's over there
 
Let me just reach under here
 
Now what?
 
It's here somewhere
 
Let me look a little closer
 
 
I hope this isn't poison ivy!

Help!  I'm falling.

It's got to be here!

Let's resync our GPS's
 
Maybe it's up there

Go ahead Irv, reach in.
 
It's up there somewhere!
 
This is what I think about while they're on a geocache hunt:
 
Wow...that's a really big tree.
 
Pretty flower.
 
I love my pedicure!
 
That's one nasty tree!
 
 
I'm so glad I get to hang out with my dad.  I wish he'd smile.
 
 
 
I wonder if they have snakes in South Dakota.

 
This is going to be a great shot.

I wonder if anyone has ever fallen in.
 
So this is what green looks like.
 
How much does a big round bale cost in South Dakota?
 
 
I think we left empty handed from this particular hunt, but it was sure fun!

I wondered what you were doing. I think you found the caches right off and put them in your purse just for your own amusement.

I had a great time. It looks like I need to go on a diet!!!!

Skywatch Friday: A little close for comfort

Image
We had a fire out here on the eastern plains of Colorado last week.  I kept getting reports on the fire's location on my cell phone while I was at work.  Then a warning popped up that let me know it was time to hit the road and go home to prepare to evacuate the critters. When we initially got home it was still a decent distance away. Within 30 minutes it had come up over the ridge and flames were visible. The winds were gusting 45 to 50 mph.  It was a fast moving fire that burned 5,000 acres in only four hours.  Then the most amazing thing happened--the winds died down and the firefighters got in under control by 8:15 that night.  Thank you, Lord! Have you ever had to stand in your house and wonder what you should take out with you?  There were only two things I could think of...1) my critters and 2) my passport so I could still go to Europe next month.  Irv and I agreed that we need to get things organized so we can just grab a box...

Skywatch Friday: Upper and Lower Falls

Image
Yesterday I got to visit the recently completed Uncle Tom's Overlook along the Yellowstone River in Yellowstone National Park. This is the first really good look I've ever had at the Upper Falls of the Yellowstone River. These falls are almost as good as the Lower Falls. After leaving the Upper Falls you go downstream for a mile or so to.... ...Artist's Point which has the very best view of the Lower Falls (in my opinion).  In this location the view is perfect, so perfect that it look like a painting. This is just one of the features of this Park that make it my heart and soul.   Linking with Skywatch Friday

Skywatch Friday: Wild Horses!

Image
 The Salt River wild horses have been eluding us since we arrived in Arizona several weeks ago so today we went in search of them again. This time we started at the Coon Bluff Recreation Area.  First we went one way down the river, but soon had to turn back because we didn't bring any rock climbing gear. Then we turned around and went the other direction. The water in the river was crystal clear, but no sign of fish or horses. There are times when I really miss my dad especially when I want to know what kind of tree I'm looking at.  This one has something that resembles Spanish moss hanging down.  What is it? This riparian area that surrounds the river has all kinds of wildlife.  Today we saw theses white egrets. This gray heron was also hanging out in the distance. We met a guy carrying all kinds of photographic equipment and he said we needed to go about a quarter of a mile further down the river to find a spot where the horses cross every afternoon around 5:0...
