5/24 tue Buffalo ranch

Tuesday 5/23. Faith (c0-worker and geocacher) & I left Meteor Crater RV park for the 12 mi ride in the Polaris to the geocache. Paul, Faith's husband couldn't join us. We did this same trip llast year (Oct). We find the geocache-- yeaaaa. Fun ride. Dirt roads, down into the canyon, passing the Ranger's ranch house , then a very rocky ride for 1 mile. The last .24 mi we hiked to the cache. Saw no buffalo's. Did see lots of cows and some antelopes.
