Mesilla Geocache-3-24-12

 

What a day!  Up at 5 and on the way by 6:30.  Jake and Cindy (CeeJay 535)  went with us and we arrived at La Iguana at about 8 for breakfast.  Got all the info and off we went.  Was doing real good, then ended up way out in the desert, thinking this can’t be right.  Of course not. We didn’t have the right co-ordinates, but figured it out.  Course this was after Jake and Chuck walked up and down a couple or more gullies and hills.  Then to add insult to injury, the car wouldn’t start.  Dead battery!  Long story short, got that taken care of and off we went back to the right places.  Course the GPS doesn’t know about one way streets and there were plenty of them so we did go in a lot of circles.  The last one put us on the wrong side of the river (Rio Grande) so we had to walk across it.  Well, it was dry.  Has been very, very dry for awhile, but very sandy, so we got a lot of good exercise, fresh air and sunshine, and had a lot of fun and good laughs, especially both times I fell down.  Yeah, graceful is not my name!! 

Anyway, we had a really good time and it was the first multi-cache I had ever done and the guys (hats off to them) that figured it all out was fantastic.

Had dinner at Cracker Barrel and then home by about 8pm.
