Another Adventure

We are in Norfolk, Nebraska this week doing some geocaching. The hotel free wifi has been so freakin' slow, I haven't bothered to blog, email or even facebook anything! It was better tonight for some reason, so I am going to attempt an update on the blog.

We left home Tuesday morning and encountered this about 100 miles into our journey:

We watched high line wires being lifted

Huge semi trucks pulled over and waiting

Luckily, the house movers pulled over after about 20 miles

and allowed the traffic to go around

This cache site was along our travel route

It had a Travel Bug in it

I grabbed the bug

These ruins were near one of our cache locations

Sad

Buffalo farm along one of our SD roads

We did our first Letter Box cache on this trip

Letter Box caches are stamped instead of written signatures

We do both

Can you guess which stamp belongs to each of us?

Letter Boxes use larger containers, usually

But typical hiding places on public property

Info about the Dakota Territory Capital in Yankton

1862-1883

Replica building of the Territorial Capital Building

Now a Ranger Station along the Missouri River

Riverboats used to be a common site and mode of transportation

on the Missouri River and some of its tributaries

Capt. Grant Prince Marsh, a steam boat pilot

must have deserved some recognition

Rose bush on the grounds of the old capital 

Do you see the fuzz collected on this rose?

People enjoying the bike and walking path along 

the Missouri River in Yankton

The old bridge across the river that lifted (one section)

to allow for the boat traffic on the river to pass 

It has been replaced with a more modern sleek bridge that

would not need to lift IF a boat needed to pass through

This bird watched us look for a cache in a nearby tree

Don't know what kind it is

A final view of the old bridge and the Missouri River

Once you cross the bridge you are in Nebraska
