Papa Fugit

-- Unfortunetly our Dad thinks being outdoors means "on the links".
So yesterday was a big deal for him and us. He actually had a good
time and said he would join us again.
The Turtle and I go geocaching w/o a GPS. Now that's a challenge!
Rewarding because you get to exchange stuff, unrewarding because
there is no stamp to enter. I then enter my find in geocaching, copy
it and add it to the back of my logbook.
Off to one I missed yesterday, psycomommy2003
P.S. Never rappeled, but willing to try!

Hi, K.

Hubby is out hittin' a bucket of balls as I type...if it's not that
it's softball (or anything ending in 'ball')! But he also seems to
have fun with our new hobby and is more than willing to take a detour
if we're in the vicinity of a box! We bring my son's GPS with
us...you never know! D.

If there is a box out there that you have to rappel to and you are
willing to try rappelling to get to it, then I will make a trip back
home to see this one.
