May 11-12, 2012

We left Kearney at noon on Friday heading for York and then

on to Lincoln for our camp board meeting.

We detoured north to pick up a few geocaches on the way

Friday night Jake and Jerry went to Lincoln for the camp board meeting

and picked up a few more geocaches on the way.

We spent the night at Mark and Megan's house Friday night.

Saturday we helped Mark install two new exterior doors

in their house and then Jake and Jerry took a trip east

so we could get the oldest geocache in Nebraska as 

our 1,000th find.

The oldest cache in Nebraska named
"Go Big Red"

 After Jake and Jerry got back we all went disc golfing

in York at Minck's Park.  It now has 9 holes.

Avenue E House - New Window

Building Inspector was over a while back
and informed us all bedrooms have to have
egress windows.  So we traded in the ones
we had bought for bigger windows.

We did get them on sale at Menards.

Geocaching/Fishing April 21, 2012

After cutting and hauling brush all morning

and helping Jake with the Dining Hall sound system

We decided to take the rest of the evening off.

Finally figured out the puzzle and went
and found the cache.

Found another geocache at this camping area west of Kearney

Jake was impressed with the running water you can see
in those slots in the stone floor

A new type of geocache.
This little thing is supposed to give you coordinates
but we couldn't figure out how to do it
