Leakage from a Cluttered Mind

We drove to Nevada City for an overnighter. The first thing we did after arriving was have a delightful lunch at the New Moon Cafe. Then, while Karen wandered through the stores I walked around picking up 7 caches. We ate dinner at a nice Italian restaurant in Grass Valley before driving to our motel in Marysville.

I cashed in some Choicepoints to get a free night and chose a suite since it required the same number of points as a regular room. Came with a heart shaped two person jacuzzi tub, but no shower. That was a surprise. It’s a large motel out in the sticks, probably build because of Mather AFB, but it looks like business is way off and the motel is looking a little shabby.

The next day we went to Bridgeport (a state park—site of the longest covered bridge in the world) and did a nice loop hike while picking up a couple of caches. Afterwards, we drove some dirt roads for some more caches and then ended in Nevada City again for dinner at Cirinos—very nice. Eleven caches this day.

On our free afternoon at Asilomar, Karen and drove down to Point Lobos State Park. We chose to park on highway 1 and walk in. It was sunny, but a bit breezy. There were 4 caches I figured we could pick up on our hike. It was not to be. The first one we checked, the trail was closed because of high surf. We found the second one. The last two were extremely cammod with logs indicating a high percentage of DNFs and long search times. We didn’t find them, although we didn’t spend more than about 10 minutes looking.
