Easter weekend caching

Headed out of town with some friends, and while waiting for Martin House (you should go here if you visit Fort Worth) to open we took the time to find a few geocaches.

The first was a neat little natural wildlife area by the library. A lot of neat plants here, as well as a geocache full of goodies. The second was a typical PNG, and a third we had to DNF.

We also visited the stockyards and botanical gardens while in town.

Current ranking of Texas geocachers

Took a peek at a listing I haven't checked in a while. It doesn't reflect the caches I found over the weekend, but still moved up quite a bit to #1877. Let's see if we can keep up this trend!

Have you ever wondered where Preston Road ends if you drive north until you cannot anymore?

Today we headed out with Lesley and CJ on one of our random "where does this road end?" drives. For this adventure, we met up at Jack Macs on Preston, grabbed a quick bite to eat, then started our drive north.

I had intended to stop more for geocaches on the way, but was soon distracted by singing along to the music and catching up with friends. We did stop for one in Prosper, TX, though, and got to see a pretty old church with flowers (and bees) everywhere: Prosper Landmark #2 Old Church.

Okay, and perhaps then we found another distraction not too long later in the form of a winery we'd never heard of. But we stopped for a wine tasting at Eden Hill Vineyard and we pleasantly surprised. I really like the non-sweet reds best (as is usual), but even still, this was a pleasant (if distracting) pause in the trip north.

After that, we got back on our way and drove...and drove...and drove. We kept thinking, sure this is the end, but then we made it a little farther. And when we did find the end, we were met with a pretty view and could see (but not quite reach) Oklahoma across the lake.

Puzzle series weekend

A while back I started working some puzzle caches, and I spent a bit of time Saturday morning solving many of them, plotting on a map, and driving around finding them with my hubby. We found around ten on Saturday before we had to head on home, then went back out on Sunday to find more. We ending up grabbing 23 in this series of mainly park and grabs once the puzzles were solved, and we have a few more solved that we will grab as time permits.

What I think I loved most about the series was getting to work out some math and chemistry problems. That was a welcome challenge to me, and I hope to find some more like this to attempt later.

There were MANY muggles out at these locations, and I really wish I'd gotten better pictures, as there was clearly a convention in the area...

Also, came across this tennis court that has clearly seen better times.

And, finally, this pair of Mustangs.

My favorite puzzles of the ones we've finished:

• Geocaching ions
• REDEUX:Chemistry class ideas for a puzzle cache #2
• REDEUX:Chemistry class ideas for a puzzle cache #4

Also, here was my t-shirt choice of the day, in keeping with the theme of many of the caches found.

A quick find for March 9

Again, trying to keep up with caching. So far my March chart is looking great, and with the addition of Capital Uno 2 I've good so far.
