but really haven’t used it very much. I’ve been thinking for a while about trying geocaching out with my daughter but haven’t ever gotten around to it. Earlier today I went over & met heavee for a couple of hours and noticed that he has a book on geocaching in his bookcase. I mentioned it and he said that he’s gone out several times. We’re going to try to get together some Saturday when the weather is decent and try to find some caches. Getting started with someone who knows what they’re doing should be easier, and a motivation to actually get out!

I worry about my judgment when anything I believe in or do regularly begins to be accepted by the American public.
From the Saddlehorn Campgound at Colorado National Monument, CO
Another night out under the stars. This one was beautiful, but cold- down to about 27oF, as near as I can tell.
I hate to let the cat out of the bag, but this is one of the hidden secrets of the National Park Service. I’ve spent many nights here and I think it’s one of the best “unknown” units of the hundred or so I’ve been to.
The escarpment in the backgound is known as Book Cliffs, a ~200-mile range of cliffs in western Colorado and eastern Utah. In front of that is the Colorado River valley, with the small town of Fuita (“Fruit-a”) below.
If you’re ever driving on I70 in western Colorado, don’t miss taking an hour or two detour into Colorado Nat’l Monument!
