[Az-Geocaching] Yuban the Can II (Aka Everything that can happen with caching trip.)

[EvilFISH]

Thanks Alex won't ride until the tire is fixed it was about all I could do
to get him home, even with the stop at the batting cage.

yeah there be many a reason to Geocache as is evident by the next partial
cache log by TEF

What's New?
by team RED DOG GCJ4XE

Well we parked to far from the cache but that wasn't the main objective,
Food and drink. I had a good idea as to where the cache would be located, we
even used that entrance to obtain sustenance, so after re-fueling and
preparing for further meals, again decided to find a cache.



ps When you go to RTW-1 I bet it will take the joy out of Exercising
