Foxhound & I went to the Norman P Murray Center in Mission Viejo, CA yesterday for Breakfast with Gary & Kelly (KSBR 88.5FM radio show on Saturday mornings) It was a Live Broadcast! Their special guest was Michael Lington - Sax-man from Denmark. I have loved saxophone since about 5th grade! Michael is great! These live shows are SO fun - the artists are always so personable so real so down to earth! I took my KSBR hat that has Craig Chaquico's autograph already and had Michael add his!
There was an event at the Center this weekend too & I just learned that we MISSEDKori Linae Carothers! The event was Arts Alive. we walked around a bit then left to do some waymarking and geocaching in Dana Point & Aliso Beach.
First we went to the Ocean Institute in Dana Point - the EarthCache there was part two of the San Onofre Breccia. This is a formation that is 15 to 20 million years old. It is a sedimentary rock composed of angular fragments (clasts) embedded in a fine grained matrix (glue that binds the clasts together) We had to compare the two outcroppings by visiting both in one day.
At Dana Point - Foxhound decided that we MUST visit the tide-pools too. At least the parking HERE is FREE!
Off to Aliso Beach we go. Here there are parking meters but, gladly plenty of parking still available!
Two weeks ago we came to Laguna Beach on the 5th annual Record Store Day to visit The Sound Spectrum to add it to the category for Independent Music Stores. But, since we were there - we figured we would cache & waymark as well. There was a Webcam listed as being there! Webcams are FUN because you need to have a friend at a computer to "catch you" on the webcam and then save that image for you to post on the waymark site for that camera. Sadly, we discovered that the posted coordinates were no where NEAR the actual camera. We did learn where the camera was. AT ALISO BEACH!
Since the second part of the EarthCache was here and there were two other waymarks AND a geocache - it was well worth the $2 we feed the metered parking boxes. We phoned our friend - Cepheus7 - and he caught us! The thing about the webcams is usually they are far enough away that you can not REALLY tell who is in the picture. We took a sign which barely looks like a white square!
Missions accomplished! I let Foxhound play in the waves - and get very nearly completely soaked! We saw a dolphin out in the breakers.
Beautiful day!
