The Far Horizon

In pursuit of a geocache, Robert climbed a mountain and was rewarded with much more than scavenger hunt trinkets. He had views of the distant landscape, into Mexico even! Thanks to technology he could share these views with me (while I continued recovering from the flu) and now you!

The winding path upward!

Stairs at the Center of the World

We found this section of the Eiffel Tower in the mythical Center of the World in Felicity, California.

Motorcycle Heaven

Lots of roads to explore here! Is this where motorcycles go when they die? Don’t run out of gas!

Cache Prizes

We found the most interesting artifact in a cache today. Again, we had to hike up a mountain!

Waterhole

We moved our campsite to the south end of the mountains to find new roads and trails. We got out for a motorcycle ride and found a great route into the interior. We finally found the waterhole we had seen from a trail up to a mine site on a geocache search on Jan. 28. A helicopter had flown over us and we got a fuzzy picture of it as it hovered over the water source.

The road took us right to the waterhole, through several dry washes and past at least one mine site.

The road deteriorated but continued past the mine site we had found on Jan. 28. We parked at the bottom of the hill and hiked up, stopping to find a geocache on the way, to the top of the ridge where we looked out on familiar territory.
