I don't know if I have mentioned this but

I received a message on my Geocacheing account from a fire fighter working the fire up here. He said that he thinks two of my caches have been fried in the fire. One of them was found just a day before by a woman that said the as they were driving out the little two track to find the cache they saw a deer standing in the middle of the two track. As they neared slowly she took off and they saw that there was a newborn fawn lying in the middle of the road. They got out and walked up to the little guy and it just lay there breathing hard but not moving a hair. They drove in the woods around him and went to find the cache, thrilled at the experience. When they came back it was gone.

That doe that was chasing the other deer in the video I posted last night was the same one that kicked the eye out of that big buck last year. It was just before she dropped her fawn. She looked a bit on the swolt side to me and I think we will be having the little guys visiting soon.

you learn to recognize the individual deer and will even attach names to them. It is common to see third and fourth generations come to your back yard cafe for a meal...water during dry times. Kelley (Texas)

but there are areas that they will no let us into yet. I talked to a Ranger lady, ornery old bag (you know how wimmins are ) and she said that the fire was almost out but they didn't want us on the back trails as they are still trying to clean up and we would be in the way. The trails are narrow and their equipment is big. That makes sense to me.

I will just take them off the list for now. It is a filthy mess in the fire area and nobody will want to chase caches out there. There is going to be one hell of a lot of wood harvested. I hate to see it but the Bastuds have been doing clear cuts for quite a while now, to the anger of the residents. Now they have an excuse and they will use the proceeds to pay for the fire fighting I imagine.

Going to be an incredible few days coming up. High 80's - low 90's. I am going out today to help a friend put in a dock for his mother. Tom is one crazy SOB and into blowing things up. He got some kind of legal explosive on the web and he is gonna go out today and blow up rocks and stumps and such. Just to hear it go bang I am gonna go with him and get some video. Ought to be fun.


My cat might be a badazz when it comes to Coon and Deer but she just met her match when I turned on the sprinkler What a Puzzy!!

My daughter-in-law started talking about it the other evening when they were over for a visit. I was surprised that her and my son knew about it. It appears that they may soon start doing it. A few weeks ago, a couple of the neighborhood boys were sitting on the curb and they had a red colored painted can and about a dozen or so of those wooden nickels with someone's name and phone number stamped on them. They told me that they had found it hidden somewhere on one of the greenbelts that are in this area. I have aways wondered if this could have been one of those caches that folks hide.
