Leakage from a Cluttered Mind

I had the afternoon off from my meetings at Asilomar, so I went for a hike up on Huckleberry Hill. It was raining lightly during the whole hike, except just as I was getting back to the truck it turned into a downpour. This is the location of two night caches (Down the Rabbit Hole and Illuminati), which I would have done in the evening had it not been raining. I found the four caches in the area–one of them took a long time because I think the coords were off enough to cause me to look in the wrong clearing.

I went to Sacramento to watch the conclusion of Stage 2 of the Tour of California bike race, and stopped in Elk Grove for some caching going up and coming home. Almost all the hides were urban type, and too many were in shopping centers. In fact, I wasted a good half-hour at the end of the day unsuccessfully looking for 2 caches in shopping centers, since 6 PM is just far too busy a time. I found 10 caches total.

The bike race was fun, although since I focused (not too successfully either) on taking pictures, I didn’t really see the wide scope of the action. And, they all fly by very quickly.
