Busy Weekend.

Friday night our guests arrived to visit and attend our yearly event. Cynical and Ragged arrived and we enjoyed Needles spaghetti with home made meatballs for supper. After that Rudy, Brando and youngens arrived at the house for a visit. We sat and visited and talked about what was going on in each others lives. Before long it was time for the youngens to go home and get to bed and not too long after that we were ready to get rested up for the long day we had planned ahead of us. This weekend we had our Final Cache Slash Fest Event. This was the 5th one and it was time to call it quits with all the work, expense and effort put into this thing, it was getting kinda stressful for all involved. This year we started off the event with registration then after most of the attendees arrived we had the geocaching coordinated for the event caches delivered in a unique way. By ultralite. The plan was for the ultralite to make a pass and then turn for a second pass to drop the coordinates. The coordinated by the way were small slips of paper wrapped around a Tootsie roll then wrapped with tin foil. Since the weather was iffy from the get go and the drop was cancelled the day before due to weather conditions the drop plans had to altered a bit with the drop being on the first pass. If you would like to see video of the drop watch it below.

After the geocachers had their coordinates they were on their way to get the event caches. We had a few stragglers who showed up late that received their coordinates by just getting them from registration. While parking was a bit of a issue with the wet weather we had been having the attendees had to park on the side of the road, where in the past we had them park in the yards. About an hour or so after the cachers left to find the caches we had a very inconsiderate person want to drive their John Deere tractor with not the usual 2 tires on the back. It had 4 tires so that they took up the whole road want to drive down the street we were having the event at. This person parked the tractor in the middle of the road blocking traffic both ways for about 10 minutes until I started walking to the area to find out what was going on. It seems this inconsiderate idiot that could see the road was blocked to wide load traffic, wide load being his fat head, decided to drive the tractor this way only to make a spectacle of himself. The person called to sheriffs office to have the vehicles parked on the side of the road towed away. I told the person that their were other roads to drive to get around the blockage but he would have any of it. He decided to block the road for almost 30 minutes while we waited for the sheriff. After I guess he thought was too long to wait he decided to turn around and while doing so killed the tractor to our amusement. He finally got the tractor turned around and went the way he should have in the first place. After he left we got the vehicle moved just in time for the sheriff to drive by slowly and just kept on going. After the attendees got back we all had a good chuckle at this persons expense. If you would like to do some seasonal TPing I know just the place for you. After the drama was over it was time for games, prizes and food. Before long it was getting dark and cold an most of the attendees were starting to leave. We managed to get out of there a little after 8pm. I hope everyone had a good time and we had plenty of food left over to have a whole other event. I am glad that it is over. Sunday morning we awoke a little weary for the previous days activity. Needles made breakfast with her sweet and spicy beacon. Yum. After breakfast our guests Ragged & Cynical sat with us in the living room a talked about life and its ups and downs and the up coming holidays and the stress in which that can bring with it. Before long it was time for our guests to go home as much as we tried to get them to stay another night or two or three, they thought they needed to get back to things like fuzzy roommates and work. Oh well we tried and I am comforted in the idea of seeing them again in a few short weeks. This afternoon my friend "D" and I went to Mt. C to do some photography. I was looking at my previous pictures and I hadnt been down there for over a month. I got a few pics I will share later. I am too tired. Have a good week everyone.
