December 12th

Posting this at the White Elephant event - ending an awesome day with an awesome party. Details and pictures soon.

Welcome to my first 12 of 12!! I kept hearing Sonny and Sandy over on Podcacher.com talk about this, but never really had the time/interest/whatever to bother doing it. However, I think I must have heard it enough times, because I finally decided, what the heck?! Let's do it!

Today was a day of a lot of runs to Reno. First, a run up to meet Mark and Bea to examine maps for the upcoming Navigational Rally and plan out some spectacular 4x4 trails to send participants on. Sadly, the recent snow storms have curtailed our exploration trips, but that's what Google Earth is for, right?

Second trip was with Bill and Bea as we hit a few caches around town. Including two cool caches that reside inside a library and a geology museum at UNR. A lot of fun was had, despite freezing my fingers off. We even went and looked at one cache that is on an island in the Truckee River since the river level is fairly low. The threat of hypothermia and knee deep ice cold water kept us out until summer.

The final trip was to the White Elephant event hosted by the Great Basin and Eastern Sierra Geocachers. Lots of fun there and loads of pizza and presents - and a little game called "Who Am I?" where Angie stuck a label on everyone's back and, using only Yes/No questions, you had to determine who you were. While I wasn't really in a "game" mood, I did have fun messing with those who were around me, including Dr. Seuss, Prince Charles, Frosty the Snowman, GI Joe, and ET. I turned out to be Brittany Spears.

See you next month!!
