Naegle Bldg 12 - Valley View room - It was really smokey yesterday - Yosemite has a fire and we flew by it on the way up here. We did seven geocaches today - just a few hours including lunch at MickeyD's - An entire football team (high school??) came in there while we were there!
Found three caches we'd looked for last December in the snow - they were deeply buried in the snow then.
Foxhound and Cepheus7 went to the Jacuzzi - I logged the caches - some "newbie" found the darned Horse cache in front of Harrah's and logged "Quick and Easy" she's found 18/19 at the time she logged it!!! We have looked twice with Cepheus7 and not found it :'(
We GeoCache (that's where the Blog name comes from), Munzee (a game to play outdoors with your smart phone), Monitor Western Bluebird Nesting Boxes and Foster dogs (mainly German Shepard but, any are welcome.

Lake Tahoe for a Week!
Well most of it anyway - then to Sonoma County for a few days - gonna be another hot one I fear - but it is Vacation - and if it's hot then there will be lots of time at the pool - which I don't really like - I can't see without glasses - and don't wear contacts any more - so can't really swim in the pool :(
There might be geocaching and horse back riding too
time will tell

DISCOVER CONNECT TAKE ACTION
Then - Saturday - work for 4 hours - came home - Played on FaceBook - went to my 30 yr HS Reunion - Recognized some people - others - nope - not without the name tags - spent most of the time with a friend from 5th grade on - had to leave "early" - but later than I had told my family I was going to - to get sleep for SUNDAY!
The Ocean Institute in Dana Point http://www.ocean-institute.org/programs/index.html - We went on the 88.5FM KSBR Morning Breeze Cruise - with guest Artist SCOTT AUGUST http://www.cedarmesa.com/ !! He called a Blue Whale with an awesome "Grandfather Cedar Flute" - totally awesome - totally -
The dolphins too, enjoyed the cruise - they play with the Sea Explorer and were leaping out of the water! I even captured one on "film" - fully out of the water.

FaceBook and Girl Scouts!
Spent WAY too much time hunting HATCHLINGS - Way too much time...
I started a "group" for our Girl Scout Service Unit - and before it was even really ready a buddy requested to join!!
Set some more stuff up on it and sent invites to the Service Unit and - no one else :( But, it is a nice weekend - maybe in the coming week.
Went to the Orange County Girl Scout Council August kick-off this past Tuesday - Only one other person from our Service Unit went with me - funny thing - she's the buddy who is in the GROUP I started today! It was at the Kick-off that I heard to use FaceBook as the platform for the SU site - easier than setting up and entire site on my own, I was told. Boy, was it easy. Only thing is that I can make it fancy - but - the price is right - and for now - it will be great - IF I can get some response! Pictures, Events and other things can be added all right there for the group - EASY!
Tomorrow - I may have a new Daisy Leader to give Orientation to but, have not heard from her - no email replies and I don't have a phone number for her - I just have to show up - just in case - that is a bit frustrating when I don't hear anything... but - I never get tied of where I hold the Orientations - so if no one shows- my daughter and I will just enjoy the oaks for a while - and listen to the birds.
