At 8:00 this morning the McAllisters went with us to the 9th Yuma Event at a park on the Colorado River. We met Dwight and Sheila at the event. There were at least 400 people present.
Our first activity of the morning was a Poker Run. We were given coordinates to five locations where we were to collect envelopes containing playing cards. When we had five envelopes we turned them in. They were opened and our poker hand was displayed on a bulletin board. We had three aces, but were beaten by a full house. (Having raised four children we always had a full house...and were winners.) We came in second, winning $50. Wow!
Before we were treated to a barbecue lunch we had time to do some of the caches in the area. And there were lots of people to visit with. So we were well entertained until 2:00, when some us took part in the final activity...CITO. Cashe In Trash Out was an event to clean up the area between two bridges, a distance of about a mile. This is a public service event that Geocaching supports.
When we got back to the motorhome it was time to rest. Afterwards, Bill finished the solar project and I took care of some computer work.
that was a very busy day and sounds like A LOT of fun!
