Thanks, Steve, for pointing me to the Groundspeak forums about
"GeoBuster." It was entertaining....for awhile....and reminded me why
I DON'T read the forums! ((((yawn))))
Also, I failed to notice, at first, that this cache was in Yosemite.
Please be kind. I had my molecules scrambled in the transporter and
wound up in Minnesota (IN the WINTER!) and then scrambled again, only
to find myself in California (EEK!!!) when I only expected to view an
Arizona cache. So, pardon my lack of awareness. Of course, if on NPS,
it shouldn't have been there in the first place.
And Steve, I appreciate the comment about the waypoints and this and
that and it all went over my molecularly reassembled brain. Maybe part
of my cerebral cortex is still in the pattern buffer.

Yes, I have seen ALL the Star Trek shows (all 5 series) AND all the
movies. More than once. I have a life outside of geocaching (explains
why I don't have 500 caches) but I'm not sure admitting my Star Trek
passion is much better than being an addicted geocacher!!! (All in
FUN, folks! :-)
