Sea Life aquarium trip 7/26

Monday 7/26 My co-workers Kathy/Derek & I left for Phoenix/Tempe to see the SeaLife aquarium in a huge shopping mall. The aquarium houses various tanks including a ocean tunnel. Very nice. Did some walking around in the Mall later. Being outside was very hot-temp 105+. A lunch near by at In-N-Out burgers. Back onto I-10 to I-17. A stop at the camp verde Cliff casino before returning to the RV park.

Hike Mt Elden area 7/9 fri

7/9 Since this was my late shift (12-8p), decided to hike to this new geocache over by Flagstaff Mall (east side of flag). Parked on Snowflake dr which is a trailhead for serveral trails. Hiked in about a mile before heading up this hill. At the top was some great views of the mountains . After searching for 30min I gave up trying to find the cache. Another time. Had to head back to get ready for work.

Williams-Kaibab Lake tue 7/6

Tuesday 7/6
Kim & I decided to head out to Williams about an hour drive from the RV park. Our first stop was in Parks (off I-40). This is one of the areas were a fire burned 500 acres a few weeks ago called the Eagle Rock fire. Hiked in the woods for a new geocache which we found and FTF (first to find). Nice 3 mi around trip of hiking with some great views. Forgot the camera. From there we went to the Kaibab lake campground. Cool lake with alot people fishing. Some hiking in the area and found 4 caches. Met a couple with their son geocaching. Fun to watch the boy find it. Then onto Bearizona park (was here 3/4 weeks ago) to locate a geocache in the area. Went into Williams for a late lunch (4 pm). A little walk in the town area. A couple more geocaches on are walk. Back to the RV park. Found seven caches for the day.
