Valentine's Day Celebration

Dale and I decided to celebrate this LOVEly day early. While the majority of the country was busy with the Superbowl on Sunday, we went out geocaching.

It was a sunny, crisp morning. But snow and cold winds were expected for Valentine's Day. That makes for uncomfortable geocaching. So for this week's Tuesday Travels, we decided to take advantage of the emptier streets and warmer weather. (When you're retired, any day can be a Tuesday). 

We searched for eight caches, and found six. Not bad!

Best, I hit a milestone when I found my 600th geocache! 


It was a beauty, too. A tiny container glued inside a broken brick found along the side of the road.

We needed tweezers to pull the itty bitty log out of the container.

We ended up going to two cemeteries. Those are some of our favorite caches. The grounds are serene and there are few living souls around to watch us search. There are a number of older cemeteries in the area. Many of them are on hills with nice views. These two were no exception.

We like looking at the old headstones while we're there. But today, we found a very fresh grave. Loved ones left a silent message on top, written in pine cones.


Happy Valentine's Day in heaven, Loved One. Someone is missing you tonight.

Love never dies.
