Prescott -geo 5/10

*
5/10 Saturday
Headed out to Prescott Az with Kathy/Derek and Bob (Kathy's dad).
Our last geocaching together since K/D schedule is changing. No shared time offs until after Labor Day week end.
The purpose of this trip was to go to a geocache call The Raven's Labyrinth GC35BKD which is well known.  Even though the cache is down for maintenance we had an appointment to meet with the owner at 1pm.  Got to Acker Park in Prescott and did some geocaching. Lunch.  Then arrived at the Raven's house in Prescott Valley.  The Labyrinth is like a pin ball machine.  You have three gates to go thru. We only got one but able to sign the log.  Then onto the PV Library to do  the Indiana Jones cache created by the same guy. That was fun searching for clues to get the Log book. A stop at Dairy Queen for ice cream before heading back to Meteor Crater.  Awesome day.

12 finds for the day.  My total number of finds is now a 3902.
