Sunday

Last Sunday Sherry joined the two of us for a geocaching adventure in communities to the north, Fountain Hills, Scottsdale and Carefree areas. We had several geocaching goals and planned to end the day at an event. The weather was perfect in that it was overcast and temps in the mid-60s.


interesting metal work as we entered town
this was a geocache location
we did not find it


guess where we are?


one of several items buried in the cement


Sherry is asking why we are giving up so soon


no longer the tallest fountain in the world
it was spouting water as we were driving into town
shoots water 330' every hour (9 to 9) for 15 minutes
can spout water 560' when all 3 pumps are running
shoots green water on St. Patrick's Day
built in 1970


where's the water?


interesting birds along a lake
look at their feet, more like chicken's feet
than duck feet
and they're striped!


taking a rest along the lake shore


the man-made lake


Sherry & Hubby heading back to the car


our favorite geocache of the day
it was called "It's a Croc"


liked the color, don't know the name


the mountains in the distance


location of our evening geocaching event


a collection of old farm machinery is on display


a bouncer was at the 'door'


only eating area...outdoors


interesting light fixture


Signal, the geocaching mast joined us for the evening


fire pits to keep us warm
had to air out our clothes & take showers
when we got home


a pretty sunset through the trees and little anvil


A successful day of geocaching. Thanks for joining us, Sherry. Hope we can go again!
