Another option for X'ers if you're not doing the Strawberry Mine trip.

Keeping a little closer to home and doing some geocaching.

This Sunday, May 16th Table Mesa Rd / Lake Pleasant Park area in search of worthless trinkets.

So far EYEzerman and myself meeting at the bagel shop at 8am. Bagel shop is on Anthem Way east of I-17 at Gavalin Peak behind the Mobil/On the Run station.

Here's the waypoints from geocaching.com if you want to pre-load your GPS with locations-

GCC4BE A Break in the Action
GC34E4 Wild Burro
GCFAD Cold Water Cache
GCJ15T Humbug Creek Hide
GCGC8R T Mesa West
GCD9CA Peanuts
GCG5EY A Pleasant Place
GCE48C Little Squaws Canyon...Cache Cow Water
GCHP3X 2580 ft. above sea level
GCG5DY Hidden Oasis
GCH6BB New River Rookie (I think this one was on our last list)
GCG74R Froggy Went a Courtin' / Cool Summer Cache

Some alternates too-

GCEE7B Dominos
GCHCE7 New River Rookie Strikes Again
GCGJY2 Checkers

Want to go but don't have a GPS? No problem, one really isn't necessary. Just more interesting if you do have one and are able to check your "I can even get lost with a GPS" skills.

Bagel shop 8am and FRS channel 14.0

Bring a lunch, some water, and your hiking shoes. Nothing more than a couple hundred yards of hiking, too hot

Also a small day pack if you are going to carry anything. I forgot mine last time and it was just a pain to carry 3 things all the time.

I'll print out some worthless maps as well.

This, I could probably do, but will have to split about 11 to get home for company. I'll check in with you before Sunday AM

Leave when you need to, glad to have you along. Feeling any better today?
