For anyone following this "saga" we went up this
morning and grabbed this Speedy TB...it's actually a cool little car, I'm having
trouble keeping it from my 28 month old as he just LOVES cars, in fact we are
using them as incentives for his potty training, and it's working very well,
looks like when we have our next little boy in 8 weeks, we won't have 2 in
diapers...yes the dream. (I still haven't figured out how I am
going to hike into 3 and 4 star caches with my 2yo on my back in the Baby
Backpack, and the newborn strapped to my chest in a Baby Bjorn, but I'm sure it
will make for interesting cache logs)!! But anyway, when he
saw this car he just jumped on it and said "MY CAR", I had to wrestle it
from him, to very loud protests.
Mark from Magical Memories, perhaps we
could arrange a meet or a drop-off point for this bug since you said going to go
to California soon...let me know, my e-mail is joenveng@cableaz.com.
The Rocket Men and Machines Cache is in good shape,
if a little lonely. Really it's not that bad...this fat, arthritic, old
man made it up there in 40 minutes, and down in 45, down is always tougher for
me, my arithritis is under my knee caps, (the result of high school wrestling
and skiing injuries), and can make me wet myself at times...so I have to be
careful going down. We got to the trailhead at 6:35 am, isn't too hot at
that time, you can get this cache done before the real heat of the day sets in
and then go after easier caches when you are through. I did some sweating
to be sure, but was not uncomfortable or anything. So even though it is
the summer months, I challenge all you fine geocachers out there to go for this
one! If I make it up there, I'm sure you can!
You get a nice view, can sit and listen to coyotes
howling, and actually you can nab a 2nd cache (if you haven't
already done so) on the way up the trail which passes within 75 feet of
this cache, which is a pretty neat find, so you can get 2 caches
at once, to those of you who are interested in numbers.

Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Another travel
bug rescue-help requested
While perusing the geocaching forums, I saw this plea for help. Can
anyone help? I pasted the request below, but the forum link is also
here.
One of my travel bugs has been stranded in the
"Rocket Men and Machines" cache near Mesa, AZ since April 15. While this
sounds like a cache I would thoroughly enjoy finding, it's not been visited
since that day.
Is there anyone willing to pick up my TB and move it
along on it's way? It's trying to get to Los Gatos, CA, but moving it to a
more frequently visited cache would be sufficient.
Thanks!
