November 12, 2011

In spite of getting off to a late start this morning, we got in gear and found six caches rather quickly.  They were in the hills west of Pleasant Hill.  The weather was great for caching.  Lots of trees had their fall colors.  It was a really pretty backdrop for our hunt today.

Our Nuvi took us on a back road getting out of the hills.  We didn’t have a clue where we were with all the twisting, winding roads.  Neither of us could remember crossing a state line, so we figured that we were still in California.  Eventually we came upon a main road, and, lo and behold, there was a Burger King.  Needless to say, we went in for lunch.

When we got back home I had a lot of “fun” things to do.  The most notable task was balancing the check book.  I’m so glad I’m  on Prozac!  

The Oregon Ducks had a very important football game tonight against Stanford, who hadn’t lost a game in a couple of years, I think.  All of us in this family are Oregon fans.  Lori felt sure she could hear Brent cheering all the way from Mississippi.  We all kept the texting “wires” hot with written cheers and offers of ear plugs for Michelle and Meredith.  When those guys watch a game it gets rowdy, to put it mildly.  Lori was on the way home from Chico and a bowling tournament.  There were five people in her van and it became my job to keep them advised of the score.  53-30!  Wow!  That was really a “quack attack.”
