Reno
Andrew and June invited Jimmy and Madeline, Jim and Rosie, and Joan and Bill (Andrew's parents) to Reno for the weekend. A wonderful mini-vacation with family. Great conversations, delicious foods, and Jimmy and Madeline even got a little geocaching in since they don't gamble.

Cool windmills on the lampposts. There were several different designs. |

|
Geocache #1 - Basque Sheepherder. Failed :( |
||
Supposedly, the cache is by that green thing. Didn't find it, but... |
enjoyed the view... |
as much as you could enjoy the view of Reno, that is. The snowy mountains help a lot. |
Geocache #2 - Dam Curiosity. Failed :( |
||
After carefully crossing this rocky damn, the attempt to climb up the steep hill to the train tracks seemed too dangerous, especially w/ Madeline's clumsy footing and Jimmy's Birkenstock clogs. |
The train was cool though. |
|
Geocache #3 - A Taste Of Reno. Failed :( |
||
Somewhere in this park is a cache we couldn't find. There were a lot of muggles and yet again, unsafe footing. |
At least we had a nice cold and windy view. |
|
Geocache #4 - A wonderful bird is the pelican. Success! |
||
The family truckster brought us w/in 100 feet of the cache. This one was surprising easy to find. Jimmy found it, but Madeline 'dug' it out. |
Madeline subconsciously wanted to be generous and leave the GPS. We had to go back and retrieve it. |
|
No pelicans, but a few other water fowl. Canadian Geese flying overhead. |
Luxury SUV trekking in Reno. |
