Marshall Lake 8/23

Tuesday 8/23   geocaching at Marshall Lake out of Flagstaff.
Faith  (co-worker) and I worked on this geocache Puzzle.   See below.  The name was "Count the Spheres".  You had to turn these symbols into Co-ord's.  Which is 05.996  32.210 Symbols are planets.
We headed out  to Flagstaff then onto Lake Mary road turning onto forest service rd 128 which takes you up the mountain to Marshall lake.  After our find we did some more geocaches in the area. Then a stop at Windy''s for a bite to eat.  Time 3:30p - 7pm  When we arrived at the RV park it started to rain very hard.

Geocaching/William 8/22

Monday 8/22/11
The four of us (kathy/derek & kim) took off for Williams from Meteor Crater.  Our first stop was in Parks off of I-40.  The geocache was near a old water pump house on the old Rt66 road which is no longer used.  From here off to Hwy 64 whlich is the road to the Grand Canyon but we headed to a
airport for four geocaches.   Into Williams for lunch.  Off again to Dogtown lake which is a great area for camping.  Lots of geocaches and some good hikes.  Back to RV park around 7pm  Fun day.

Future look for Meteor Crater Vistor Ctr

The first picture is the current look at the Visitor Center where I work.  The Board of Directors voted on the new look.  Project is estimated to take about 5-8 years.   Also the current picnic area will be enclosed for the eating area, new restrooms,etc   Great ideas for many things to happen here.

Bellemont tue 8/9

tuesday  8/9
Had to do the following:  Jeep to dealer, back side window  doesn't work. Made an appointment for next wed for estimate. Then had tires rotated. Oil change. windsheild on jeep repaired. Busy day. But was able to squeeze in two geocaches in town which were first-to-find.  Then headed north on I-40 to Bellemont where co-workers Bunny/Jim & Faith/Paul  had their campsite about 4 mi into the forest. I was invited for the BBQ. Of course had to stop for a geocache near by. After dinner we did dessert call "wadingers".  Using a stick,  put on some  croissant dough, shaping it on.  Then bake it over a campfile bed of coals.  When done, fill shell with pie filling or??? Fun and  tasty.  Back at RV aroung 9:30p.

Schnebly Road to Sedona 8/8

Monday 8/8
We (Kathy/Derek, Kim)left the RV park at 9am.  Headed to Flagstaff & south on I-17. Taking exit 320 schnebly Hill road. Its a 12 mi dirt road to Sedona. The first 6mi is smooth to the Vista point. Stopping for a couple of geocaches. Arrived at the Vista with great views of Sedona Mtns. The Vista is also the stopping point for all jeep tours like Pink Jeep before heading back down the mountain which is another 6 mi on a very bumpy rocky road. At the Vista we placed a New Geocache from us. We then headed down the hill, stopping for more geocaches.  Finally arrived at base around 2pm.
