Yes, I know. I'm late. Many of you know we went geocaching with friends Jon & Sherry on Valentine's Day as Sherry is so good and speedy about posting photos on Facebook. So you have seen some of the photos. My post will show some of the things - usual and unusual - one might see while geocaching in the desert in Apache Junction & Mesa.
We saw this oldie while driving to ground zero.
We were on the search for turtles hidden by a geocacher named Tic-Toc Turtle.
He has something like 70 some TTT hidden geocaches. We are amazed at the variety turtles he has collected and hidden. They are all different.
Some were hidden hanging in trees. Some were hidden on the ground under rocks or branches. Or like this little guy, some were hidden in dead cactus or tree branches.
The turtles were various sizes, from a quarter to the size of a large tortilla. Most were very easy to find, which is always nice when walking in the desert.
It is not unusual to see horses in the area where we were geocaching. I don't know if this rider was done or getting started.
two riders
This horse was sporting his winter coat. He also had very hairy legs. The rider was from Canada. The ladies had two dogs with them.
Five wooden cross grave markers and five rock lined graves but no disturbed soil????
two towers had nests in the supports
large nests, maybe hawks or owls?
a skull about 10 inches long
more desert trail riders
Horses were the only animals we saw. No geckos were scampering about. We have been told if we see geckos, we might also see snakes. I guess it has just been too cold for the reptiles. That's okay by me!
One of the horses at a Horse Boarding across the road from the desert area we were in for geocaching.
We were dressed appropriately for the day.
Geocaching hearts for our efforts on a perfect temperature day for walking in the desert.
