POTPOURRI--

This is a group photo of the Vero Beach, FL area geocachers taken earlier this month at a monthly meet-and-greet; this one at the Sebastian Airport where we enjoyed a delightful sky-diving show--then lots of geocaching, of course.

Our Ohio square dancing/geocaching friends are Mike Friedman, lower right in the yellow tee shirt and his lady, Linda Adkins, in the back row over his left shoulder with the Ohio State (red) ball cap.  You can see me centered in the back row with Sue partially hidden to my left.

There are three blue ball caps to my right.  Partially hidden behind the fellow (third ball cap) is Betty (Boop) Maus our geocaching friend from Upstate NY.  We introduced Betty, Mike and Linda to geocaching last winter in Vero Beach and they have been going strong in the sport ever since.

Angel's Napping:  Well, maybe just one Angel.  That's her, the fuzzy one snoozing on my lap.  She is now 18+ years old and we were concerned with her surviving our first winter in FL--four years ago.

She's having health challenges consistent with her age but still going strong.

Team OHNY; Geocachers extraordinaire

Last summer Sue and I were geocaching along the Richland, B&O Bike Trail and met Leslie and Greg Cornett (left above) from Sunbury, OH.  Turns out they also winter in Vero Beach about a mile from us.  In this photo we are finishing up a nice string of caches in Round Island Park between the ocean and intercoastal waterway south of town.  That's Betty on the right.

The black bag in the foreground is full of trash we gathered as Greg led our CITO (Cache In Trash Out) effort practiced by environmentally friendly geocachers.  Numerous manatees slid by.  We liked to think they appreciated our "house-cleaning".

Together with Mike and Linda we all like geocaching (naturally) as well as bicycling, hiking, bird-watching, kayaking etc., in various degrees. 

Stand by for more tales featuring our caching hobby with various means of locomotion.
