San Antonio or Bust!


Starting out about 8am with the car full of gas and the wind blowing us down the road. I've got the audio book cranked up and the computer plugged in, working on organizing some scrapping supplies. We're took the HE Bailey turnpike to Lawton and then down on Hwy 281 to San Antonio.  The GPS and Palm are loaded with geocaches www.geocaching.com along the road. Here are some of the highlights:
  
Day 1
  • Found 8 caches along the way
























































Noteable caches:  Largest Chair, Billy the Kid and Prairie Dogs

  • Nearly ran out of gas ( really really close)
  • Lost the palm when we were hunting a cache in lots of dead grass, weeds, dead leaves and heavy brush.  Looked for it about 30 minutes and finally found it.  Thank God!!!
  • Lunch in Wichita Falls at Subway! Yum
  • Lost stone out of my ring when washing my hands. My moreno stone ring but found stone. 
  • Went by Lori and Jeff's house in Burnet, TX. Kailey had received word she had been chosen for Varsity Cheer Team, Raigen didn't make it.  She was being strong but her heart was hurting.
