The morning of our last full day here started like every morning of the last two weeks in Oceanside. May Gray and June Gloom extended into mid July. I was up, fixed coffee, caught up my e-mal and words with friends games, and washed dishes before Gerri stirred.
After finishing my coffee I decided to load up my bike on the Jeep and head out to the SLRRT to see if I could pick up some easy caches. I drove to the start of the trail at Neptune and Cleveland and was at my first cache at 12:45. I met another cacher and did caches with him up to about the 3 mile mark. Because of him I bagged a couple that I wouldn't have tried. The north slope of the trail is cemented over rocks that my knees and ankles don't work well on. The other cacher is a marine stationed here, he is originally from Kentucky. Not quite a fellow hillbilly but close.
I went to the 4 mile marker before turning around at 3:50. I passed some that were down the rocky slope. I did a couple that were off the trail. On the last cache I was so tired my heart wasn't in it. I got back to the Jeep at 5 PM. I found a total of 16 and didn't hunt 4 because of the rocky slope.
