Beth and I went geocaching again yesterday and had a really good day at it. We first hit the appliance store, though, and purchased a new microwave oven. Finally, we are replacing the easy-bake microwave oven we have been using since we left Arkansas with an over-the-range model. We were going to look into getting a new door to the garage installed but the place we wanted to look is closed on Saturdays, so it's going to be very inconvenient to see them. Them being closed, we headed out for a day of caching. Back to Potawatomi Park, where it was such a gorgeous day this time. We found three caches in the park as we hauled the kids around in the wagon and a stroller. We had such a good time we decided to keep going with some Spirit Quest caches we didn't get to last week. We found two, but the first one was the longest because when we got back to the van after a quick find, the battery was dead. We'd made the mistake of leaving the accessories on. So here we were in a cemetery in North Manchester Indiana with a dead battery. How ironic. It was at least an hour until roadside assistance came with a jump. We did stop to get another quick cache that was on the way home but didn't turn the engine off while we looked for it.
