I met Mel at 0530 at his house, still needing 3 caches to reach 1000. Mel graciously drove me to two caches that he had already done, one was close by his house and the other had been on my todo list for along time (Another Housing Delevopment GCMGQQ) and then we headed over to 3C Ranch (GCW5A1) by elmosmelmo, (my son's latest cache) that is located on the back road to Mt. Lemmon. After that we continued on and got 4 more that were in the area. Making a total of 7 caches for the day.
