This is the month for giving thanks, today for those who have given their all for my freedom. Every time I go geocaching, I am grateful that I have the freedom to go out and play. What a blessing it is to be alive now, at this point in history! There’s so much to look back on and look forward to.
I chose to take a solo hike for my 24,000th find, so I could get out in the scenery and commune with nature, with God, and with my lazy bones. It was a glorious, cool, and breezy day, affording big vistas and striking colors.
I did the first 15 in this series, with quite a few left over for another day:
Just Around the Bend #1
East: abandoned golf course
South: civilization and its water supply
West: the cascades angle down next to the freeway
Brilliant Color
Fun with Mirrors
Cart Path
Driven ’Round the Bend #1
Creepy Wind Whistle
Electric View
Power Trail
Towering Towers
The foliage demonstrates the circle of life, looking down on the fire road I just hiked up:
North: overlooking the next valley of Santa Clarita
Tenacity
Not to be outdone, the next day I celebrated with the VKs as they found cache #25,000! They are certainly legends in their own minds, but can they walk on water?
