GPS Catch

Decided checking my geocache would be a good excuse to play with my new GPS.  Discovered two things.  1.The cache is still there and loaded with goodies for the next person to find it.
 2.Maria never updated the correct coordinates.
Thanks to premium member afudc (with over 13,000 logged finds) who was first on the scene - he had listed the correct numbers in his logged visit and some of the folks who came after him had used his coordinates to find the cache.  A couple others were completely lost and I had to show them where to find it.  Maria was supposed to update the coordinates but it must have slipped her mind.  Anyway...the correct numbers are there now so come and get it.  Now that I'm registered on the site, I might have to start tracking down some of the other geocaches in the area.  I had no idea there were so many in the US.  62,80,45,0,B,0

tankwright...

Terlingua Creek Cat's Eye morning.  Maria and Will from Sul Ross had a chance to sit down and discuss my special plant at The Field Lab with Bill Lindemann ( twice past president of the Native Plant Society of Texas) and his associate Jane Crone. 
The pros were brought out by my friend Carolyn Ohl.  I learned about the oasis she created in the desert about a year before I moved here and it was the inspiration for my dam project. http://cmoasis.blogspot.com/ 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

We have fewer flowers happening this year due to the weather and many blooms are already going to seed.  Maria took a chunk of my biggest plant for further study and placed a GeoCache nearby. http://www.geocaching.com/ ...it will be listed on the site soon.

Back to some real work this afternoon and got the SE tank into position.  71,87,45,0,B

Note:  I have received quite a few postcard set and mug orders in the past week - they will all ship tomorrow - you will get an email confirmation once they are in the mail.
