A Valley geocacher who loves baseball, created puzzle geocaches about the World Series beginning with the first games in 1903. Hubby enjoyed doing the research to get the correct numbers to solve the World Series puzzles, all 62 of the puzzles. Several other geocachers were interested in finding the string of geocaches so a plan was made to walk in the desert on Sunday. The temperature was to be in the low 60s, perfect for a day of desert geocaching, an hour north of the Apache Junction.

5Gs + 1B
(Sherry, Vicki, me, Hubby, Paula & Mary)
looking for ONE MORE cache, but no luck!
The price to pay for caching in the desert...boot soles filled with stickers & thorns. The left boot is clean, using a tweezers and a needle-nosed pliers. Hubby said he cleaned his boots but I bet they weren't as clean as mine!

It was a successful and fun day! We logged 64 caches on Sunday, had a great lunch at Twin Peaks and an enjoyable day with the other 4Gs.
