The Trip Fun Continues

The trip enjoyment was increased tremendously today as we met for an early breakfast with two pairs of GeoFriends before a concentrated day of caching here in Clarksville. What a beautiful day of caching! Hosted by Nonnipoppy and RKPMBL, we had a ball snagging every cache that we could cram into a day! The day was shortened a little by a severe attack of (yes, Virginia, there really ARE) chiggers!!! They attacked poppy with a vengence and I have some evidence that my Kentucky and Tennessee chiggers may have to move over for some new "skin" mates!!! Mine aren't that terribly bad but his were horrendous!!! Cachewise, we had a very successful day!!

Sharon jumped with us until it got to be a little too much at which point she turned into trip secretary and nagivator, er, navigator! (Always did have trouble with that word!!)

After caching and resting, we all met for a dinner at what has to be one of the most scenic places within 500 miles in any direction. We were on a pavilion jutting out over a 200+ feet high bluff over looking a lake on the Arkansas River. In the bend of the lake, there were dozens of islands. Each one of them was just begging for a cache of some type! Saw a magnificent sunset to the west and watched nightfall overtake northwest Arkansas! A river barge tow was coming up river below us as it was turning dark. It was interesting to see that operation from above. It was almost like watching it happen on a model layout down below us. What a perfect end to a great day! We thank nonnipoppy and RKPMBL for a perfectly hosted, most enjoyable day!

We're back in the room taking care of the administrative part of caching - writing logs for all the finds of the day. Some of it may wait until we're in Dallas!!

Tomorrow, we head out for Plano. It's not a long drive (350 or so miles) but there are a lot of caches between here and there! Will have to at least snag a few along the way.

Until later, cheers!
