Before our group outing, I went to Winslow off of hyw87 to find a cache. Turns out I got a "first to Find". Then back to the Meteor Craer RV park.
We all left for flagstaff about 1:30p . Our first stop was at the Fairgrounds for two geocaches. Then onto hyw 180 pass the Northern AZ museum where a dam is located. The sky was getting very dark, temp dropping and lighting. Didn't find the cache. Its now 4:30p, time to eat. Back to Flagstaff to a Chinese place we all like. I was treated to a farewell dinner. My last working day at the Crater is 10/31. The drive back to the RV park included lots of rain. fun Day.

Sakura sun eve 10/3

A group of us went to a restaurant in Flagstaff called Sakura for Jim' s birthday.
Rstr is part of the Radission Hotel. Sakura means Cherry Blossom in Japanese. We sat at a Teppan table and watch the food being prepared for us. The chef, Ryan, dazzle us with his culinary skills and we experience the "ring of fire". Great food. Lots of fun.
