Happy Labor Day Weekend

8-31-08 We had a really, really busy week leading up to this holiday weekend so we decided to pass on invitations to go camping and boating. We pretty much let our lazy sides rule-watched a couple movies, played the PS2, ate a bunch of junk, and slept in late. The only exercise we got was finding some caches...9 for the weekend, most of them downtown. The one DNF we searched and searched for was "Vertigo Cache" on the old Pittsburgh bridge. I think J. tired of hearing K. say, "Be careful...watch where you're going...look out for that hole..." A little acrophobia didn't mix well with this cache site. J will be back, without the other 3 in the pack.

Our favorite find for the weekend was "Play Ball" at Garvin Park/Bosse Field area. Talk about a clever hide. We were impressed! We also had fun kicking the soccer ball around The Old Library. We were entertainment for an old man who was lounging in the grass field there. I only wish we had bought him some lunch.

We planted two caches this weekend, "Whoa! GeoGazebo!" in the Lakeside Manor retirement complex and "Dead-end Hike" on the trails that are at the end of Ward Road. That used to be a great "lover's lookout", but now it's been converted to a commercial area with very little lookout. C'est la vie! At least the trails have been developed a bit.
