Today we decided to go out and maintain the caches that I've adopted and placed since my count has bounced for a few scattered here and there to a good chunk of the ones in Carson.
So, after a good breakfast, and waking everyone up, I ran the Pocket Query and loaded the GPS's so we'd have something to go by other than my memory of what was now mine. Then into the truck... er, after I cleaned it out. Water bottles and misc trash has built up in the truck and I needed to get it clean.
We started at the south end of town, and moved our way north; adjusting, replacing, cleaning up, and generally making sure all the caches were as they were supposed to be. All in all, the caches were alright and only a few logs needed to be replaced.
We turned and headed up towards Virginia City before dropping down Geiger Grade and going into Reno. Bill wanted to stop by REI and get some new shirts and pants, and I wanted to check out some backpacks. I'm trying to decide how best to use the rebate check supposedly on its way from the government.
I've narrowed my choices down to either rock bars or new lights on the truck or a backpack, sleeping bag, and tent combo. So while up at REI I got the attention of one of the staff and played with a short women's bag that would work for the hikes that I plan on taking. I like it with the exception of two pressure points right on my arms.
Afterwards we headed over to Red Robin for some dinner, and then went around looking for some new t-shirts for me. I'm tired of the standard black t's that I've had for several years. Unfortunately, the t's that I saw up at Galena Junction weren't t's, they were long sleeved shirts. And Wal-Mart no longer had their selection of Earth Day t's that I liked.
Then home, grabbed two movies from Blockbuster, Office Space and Robin Williams Live on Broadway! Yeah, today was a good day.
