Subject: Re: [Az-Geocaching] Top 10 reasons
I wondered if you were going to include me in the Bombs Away cache
history. Remember that was the day I got the Jeep and we went out to
rescue Geo the Otter, stopping here first to grab the cache from the
highway? I was razzed the next day because one of the Beeline DPS guys
stopped by and checked out my ride, seeing the badge hanging from the
mirror. Good times those were.
