I'm getting out of here!!
I have spent ALL week doing meetings and presentations for out National Sales Meeting. Everyone of our managers and directors have been in town all week, and it has been very busy! I am going to bide my time for the rest of the day, surf the web, and as soon as 4:30 hits, I'm hitting the road. I get to do a 20 mile weekend. It could only be better if it were Saturday!!!

I should be ok. The forecast as of now, which of course is just an educated guess, calls for partly cloudy skies and highs in the low to mid 80's and lows in the upper 50's. If I can just stay away from the poison ivy, ticks, and snakes, I'll be ok.

Get some permonone. I sprayed our boots socks and gaiters with it on the Eagle Rock trip and we didn't suffer a single bite.

Of course if I could figure out how to make it repel mosquitoes, I would have been happier.

Professional Growth Day. Apparently my Friday was yesterday and I didn't know it. Why is it that teachers are already needing a day off?

Hey, BrianSean wants to learn geocaching really badly, he's all over the web looking them up. He is finding some that are very close by that we wouldn't even blow any gas money. Can you do this with map and compass alone? There's no way we will ever have enough money for a GPS unit.
Pamela

I've never done it, but map and compass would definitely make it more of a challange, I think!

Let's see.... I think Lizs does some of that.  It Seems there was a geocache in a fake police car in North Dakota....

You'll have to ask her about that,    !

Actually you can do it without them by using Google maps.

i thought about that HPM, but i thought it would be so easy that it would be cheating. if it's not, than maybe we will try it tomorrow.

I have done 7 or 8 with a gps (and without the google maps lol) Some you can, some you can't

I guess that depends on where you stand on the Luddite/Technophile scale.

I remember when it was called an Orienteering scavenger hunt and a GPS was considered cheating.

BTW- what do you call it when you leave something out in the woods?

Littering.
