Birthday Road Trip

Today is another beautiful day with blue sky and sunshine. There is still way too much snow for springtime. Lots of cache sites are not winter friendly, and we ran into 3 or 4 this morning that couldn't be done. We had a fantastic drive, though. On Green Road west of Alpena, we found a farm sawmill, where a man and a boy were making boards and posts. We watched them for quite a while. That cache was totally buried and frozen in the ground.

We went to look at the famous sinkholes, but it was just sight seeing - cache was under drifts and drifts of snow.

We found 3 caches in Rogers City - one quite by accident. Dick just happened to check his GPS to see if there were any in the area, and found one 44 feet away! That was at Quarry View.

Mother Nature was at her best and worst - the day continued full of sunshine. And then in Aloha Township, an eagle flew right across the road in front of us. That was closely followed by your dead skunk in the middle of the road. Do eagles eat skunks?

On the way home we found 2 caches in Indian River (the one on the bridge was my favorite), one in Wolverine, where Dick lost his cache bag, and a virtual cache in Onaway. We were home at 6 p.m., tired but happy.

Country Folks found Dick's cache bag on the road, and sent us an email. They're going to leave it with eb_ii in Gaylord and we can pick it up there. It's just a fanny pack, but it has our stamper in it.

Happy Birthday to Me!
