The first day of an awesome adventure!
The whole day started at midnight with me, Dad, nvsrvyr, EJC265, and Puzzleman hanging out on the back of my dad's truck watching the Persiad's going overhead up on McClellan. We saw a few, but mostly just spent the time chatting and bundling up from the chill wind.
After a good night's sleep it was a quick final pack up before Puzzleman came over to pick me up and we were off to his house to load up the Jeep and nvsrvyr's Yukon! Today was the first day of a week long camping/exploring/camping trip through central Nevada that would end at the Boundary Peak event.
We headed straight out highway 50, grabbing caches along the way for Puzzleman's DeLorme Challenge, and the occastional benchmark for nvsrvyr. Some beautiful locations, fantastic caches, and awesome friends were discovered throughout the day.
We ended up at Spencer's Hot Springs outside of Austin and set up camp. This is the first time I've been camping in many many years and the burbling spring nearby along with the herd of wild burros definately made it an interesting night.
I had so much fun!!

July 12th
Almost caught up!
Another caching day, though this time I got to explore a new area along the Carson River, hoping to find a place to put my Lily Pad tribute. Alas, didn't find the right spot, but did find a really cool new place.
Afterwards, drove up through town to head to my Diabolical 2 location and tried scouting out some of the sites and placements for the various stages. Then it was off to Wal-Mart to buy supplies! You can see the first part of one stage laid out on my couch. I'm hoping that those who attempt this one have as much fun as they did on the original!

June 12th
Still trying to catch up!
Well, I'm trying to work out in the morning, however, it's getting harder to wake up in time to think about doing this.
Another day at work, though today I managed to get ahold of one of the Circle of 12 t-shirts made by CastleDwellers. I love this shirt, it's so comfy and manages to spark a conversation whenever I wear it about what the Circle is and why it's so hard.
Afterwards, I got a hair cut as it's just been driving my buggy lately, before hooking up with Puzzleman to go caching on the south end of Prison Hill. All this time in Carson and I never realized that whole side of the hill was driveable! Oh I know where I'm playing from now on!

Another behind the times set!
Another day at work, just driving around town. But got some fun pictures of some of the buildings I visit!
Also, met Dad for dinner at Bully's as I waited to meet Daimon Runge. He's a Carsonite I met via Twitter and was really cool online, and when he started talking about having his students see that he really wasn't the monster jerk they saw in class, I figured I'd crash the party and meet this guy. He's just as cool in real life.
But, before too long it was off to class again!

April 12th
Wow, I fell behind! And completely forgot to upload these pictures.
Since I'm logging this really late (in August), I'll just comment on the pictures I'm uploading. I went caching down in Jack's Valley Rd before I realized that this area was soon to become premanently blocked to motorized vehicles - normally it's only closed during winter.
Also went out to Bill's parents before taking Damien to the airport. While waiting there, I picked up my new mascot travel bug, Timber Wolf! He's so cute in his little suitcase!
Finally, went out with Dad to check on his Aerial Intelligence cache as there was a DNF. I found it and all is well.

March 12th
Today technically started out just as Puzzleman and I finished our hike up on Prison Hill looking for three caches. I had two, he found those, and we DNF'd the new one. Still a great hike under a full moon!
5 hours later, I woke up to get ready for work. I'm stoked that my legs haven't hurt after these hikes and that I've actually got the energy again to take the stairs more than once a day! Today was the same ol same ol, though I did have a ton of trips to the hospital for deliveries. I suppose that's why I kept seeing friend Magpie all day! He sure was drawing attention to himself!
After work, I tried once again for that blasted cache, but this time I was armed with a hint from the owner and from Puzzleman who had just found it this afternoon. Raced up the trail, climbed the rock outcrop, and spent 5-10 minutes looking before the 35mm was in my hand! Took a bunch of pictures while there, then headed down hill to meet up with b0neZ and kindergeek and make a trip up to Reno.
Beginning a day with a DNF and finishing with with an STF, yeah, this was a great day!

February 12th
Hey a 12th when I'm not sick! Yippee!
Though I woke up exhausted! Tried to do my workout, but just couldn't wake up enough to focus, so gave up on that. Got ready for work, put my dishes away, ate breakfast, and stepped out of the house... only to discover that the trucks for the road construction were filling up the street! So I had fun getting out of here this morning.
Work was okay, the usual weekday thing. Kept busy with various deliveries and runs to go get one thing or another. Most interesting part was having two deliveries on opposite ends of the valley within 15 minutes of each other.
Afterwards, it was a simple dinner and laundry for Bill and I. Then home to work on slides, listen to Pandora, read Twitter and learn about the Continental crash within minutes of it occuring. The power of Twitter.
See y'all next month!
