LATE WINTER GEOCACHING

Fix Ridge Cemetery -- Juliaetta, Idaho

 

Will I ever see him again?

Monday afternoon (March 13), Mike announced that he wanted to hike to a particular geocache that he had missed on a previous trip, so I went along and waited in the car. It was a long wait. We were out all afternoon, but he did find the cache.

The next afternoon (Tuesday), we went to Troy. Sister Joni is leaving the area to live nearer to her son. She gave me a couple of family heirlooms, and we hugged.

And on the way back home, we geocached again. We got one at the Juliaetta Cemetery and another at the Fix Ridge Cemetery. But we agreed that it’s really too soon to geocache in the upper country. While the snow is mostly gone, here and there piles remain on roadsides, and the ground is soggy.

But at least we got out, and I took a few pictures of a world that’s beginning to awaken from its long winter’s nap. KW
