Meanwhile in Covid news….
Nooooooo!! I can’t get sick! I have three shows lined up in the next couple of months. Well, that settles it- I am definitely not going back to the gym yet.
Today I got up and cleaned. Okay not exactly. I got up, walked to Starbucks, found a geocache by the lake, went by the farmer’s market, did some writing for my solo performance class, and then, I cleaned. I leave tomorrow for SLO (San Luis Obispo) so I don’t want to leave this place too much of a mess.
After all the cleaning I set back out to the trails again to find the last remaining geocache to this puzzle I am working on.
FOUND IT at East Ridge Trail
This last geocache had a code on it that I needed to figure out the coordinates of the “finale” location. But when I punched in the numbers at the validation website it told me I had the wrong answer.
I googled the coordinates I had come up with and yup, it put me right in the middle of the elusive town of “Canyon” and not at all in Reinhardt Regional Park, where the final location should have been.
Well, I suck at math, and I didn’t know what I did wrong. I really wanted to finish this puzzle today, but the sun was beating down on this over exposed trail and I started to feel faint. The grand finale would have to wait until next weekend when I am back in town.
I got home and played around with my faulty coordinates, and then I found my mistake and -bingo! The new coordinates were validated and now I know where the final cache is. Too bad I’m leaving town tomorrow. Or maybe I could get up early and get my morning walk in at the park before I head out – hmmmmmm……
I’m a little nervous about driving the company car on my work trip. It’s a Nissan Juke. New cars make me nervous.
Anyone speak Italian?
Alright, back to Downton.
