It may come as no surprise to anyone that we have been out geocaching a few times since the previous post. It is not quite all we live for but it does occupy a good deal of our thoughts, actions and goingsout...
Today is a housekeeping day...cleanup, shopping, thrift store...etc.
The weather is not always ideal, and sometimes, like on Tuesday, we were out in the rain a good deal. We had decided to 'take care of' the Cultus Lake area, hoping to set a record. So far our high for one day is 17. Well, we should have stayed home: instead of 17 Founds we had 8 DNF's instead...and that was a record, but not the kind we need or ever hope to break. By the way, we had coffee with someone yesterday whose high for one day is 41 Founds...I did not ask him how he managed that but my hunch is that he started at daylight, sometime at 4am, and finished sometime before midnight...
We are not quite that addicted yet...but give us time.
I am including a couple of pictures. The one is in Yarrow at the end of Wilson Rd. It was the site of the first post office. That is where the Old Yale Wagon Road ran along the mountain before Sumas Lake was drained. An interesting cache, that one...
I am also showing a couple of pictures of a place on the corner of Glover and 216th in Langley. The one shows the vintage car and the Texaco pumps, the other a close up of the price at the pump in those days...and that is price per gallon!
I see that the weather in your areas is improving so... soon out you go...
I will try to get around to posting another one later today, showing some of our results of yesterday...

I'm a reporter for the Chilliwack Times and I stumbled across your blog. I am VERY curious about geocaching as I have only a vague idea what it's about.
I'd love to do a feature story on this some time if you'd be interested in being the focus. And as a community newspaper we are really mostly (only) interested in things local, so obviously I was particularly interested in your trips to Cultus Lake and in Yarrow (within our readership).
Let me know if your interested and maybe I could come out with you for a couple hours and get some photos and find out what it is all about.
This is my personal e-mail, but you can get me at phenderson at chilliwacktimes.com too.
Cheers,
Paul Henderson
