BB and I try geocaching

BB was off today.  It was rather nice to have her around after several weeks of the software conversions at the hospital interfering with her Thursday day off.

We slept in and after a quiet mourning went out to run errands and go for a cache walk.

We tried again to access Down by the River.  We'd tried to go to this cache some while back but were unable to reach it because we couldn't find the trail (it was behind some trucks doing maintenance on the pumping station).  I'd been by later and found the trail, so today seemed like a good day ... NOT.  Here's what we ran into when we tried to walk to the pipe bridge:

As you can see, it's under about 18" of water!  I tried to find other access but there seems to be a fair bit of posted property on the far side of the river.  Oh well, perhaps another time.

We drove back to Sudbury to Karma Coffee.  If you've not been there, it has much to recommend it.  It's a small coffee roasting and cafe with by far the best dark roast coffee anywhere around. 

After a coffee fix, we went over to Greenwood Memorial Cache.  This is near where BB had a house before we moved to Sudbury.  We got to stage one OK, but I messed up the stage two calculations and, of course, we DNF the final.  Sigh.  That said it was a nice 1.5 mile walk.  Here's a photo of the grave site:

I pulled one wrong date from the plaques.  While we were very near the real coordinates, we were off by enough to miss the find.  It's a nice walk though, so I'll go back when a get a chance and find the final.

After our hike, we ran the grocery errand.  There was some very nice fish available today, so we'll have a Mexican fish dish for dinner tonight.  I should note here, that I don't mean border Mex, but Mexican.  If you travel to central or south Mexico, you'll realize that they have fish from BOTH oceans and much of the cuisine reflects French and Spanish cooking (Mexico was part of France at one point).  At any event I'm looking forward to a nice dinner.
