There wasn't much to blog about the last couple of days. Sunday, we tried some geocaching.


This mini cache was behind the Albertsons store. It was easy to park and search without a lot of people around. But there was a dog on the other side of the fence barking his head off.


Doug figured out pretty quickly where the cache was hidden and we took it back to the car to examine it. The black metal plate on the light pole lifts up and the film container was tucked underneath. Geocachers like to keep hiding places secret from "muggles" who are non geocachers. It's an entertaining game and let's us explore some places that we might not ordinarily find. (But we can usually find Albertsons)

On Monday, we took care of some banking and then drove to the Heritage Palms residential area to visit some friends who have now retired from rving. They purchased a coach that was almost identical to ours and it turned out to be a lemon. They have filed a lawsuit against the now defunct manufacturer and the dealership that sold them the coach while their beautiful motorhome just sits in storage.

And, to top it all off, our friend has been diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) and is rapidly losing control of his body. We had a lovely lunch with them and his mind is still as sharp as ever. But, it's terribly sad to know we will soon lose a good friend.

The evening ended with good wishes and hugs and a promise to return for another visit when we are back in the area..
